[ubuntu-uk] Greetings from South India!
Dear All, I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks, and thought I'd finally introduce myself. I work for Mahiti.org, a not for profit technology consultancy for the voluntary sector based in Bangalore, India. We develop on a couple of FOSS content management systems and our whole infrastructure is Ubuntu based. Part of my reason for introducing myself is that I'm planning to return to the UK in August after two years of working with FOSS in the development sector in India. I'd like to continue to feed my enthusiasm to work in this field back in the UK. Would any of you be able to offer any pointers as to suitable organisations or projects that may hold opportunities for a person with my background? I know it's not a very Ubuntu specific request, but having said that, the bulk of my system admin and deployment experience has been Ubuntu based. Any comments or advice would be most appreciated! It's great to see such an active list over in the UK - I look forward to getting more involved on my return!

AND there's the advice not to do it. Robin Yes, gconf-editor is a little scary and not for the feint of heart!

How do I remedy this, please. Being a thickie, I forget to look behind and assume that it has not been opened, so I do it again. You don't know how freaky that is. My missus has a really irritating habit of doing that. Why isn't this website opening up? she will whinge Honestly, it's nearly as bad as being at work. And it's often due to double clicking when a singel click will suffice. Which is down to a seemingly arbitrary set of rules to most people. Single click only is the way forward. I agree, I set up Gnome on my machines that way. Except my laptop, the touch pad is too sensitive! Disable clicking on it. I can't stand single-clicking. It's one of the many, many things that turns me off KDE - that and (despite kcontrol) the fact that I don't like my desktop looking like a blue-rinse wig.
