Hi all,
I've just got round to reading this week's LWN and it has an interesting
article entitled "Fedora looks to prevent upgrade disasters"

Hi all,
I'm just posting this as I'm interested in how any other 2.6.27 using

Hello again,
I'm after some suggestions.
In Ubuntu we currently use gnome-system-tools to provide some gui admin
tools. However, there are some bugs with it and it is not very active
upstream.
We are currently evaluating whether there are any alternatives that

Sorry this has taken so long to come around.

to discuss at that meeting?
If there is some interest then I'll put together another poll to pick

I'm at the airport on my way back from UDS. One of the sessions we

Hi all,
I just wanted to let you all know about a little package that we
use in Ubuntu that may benefit other distributions. This package
is called "apport".
Apport is an automatic bug reporting tool. It does a number of things,
the main one of which is to pop up on crashes of system programs.
