Installed ubuntu gutsy -- fresh install.
Delighted that it configured itself with nvidia, 1680 x 1050 from the
first boot!
None of the hard work that Feisty required to get that.
Sweet. Until last night, when it inexplicably (did I apply some
update or other?) and suddenly decided to boot up in 8

Not just the specs but the drivers. GPLv2 and MIT licenses.

I guess things have changed. Last I dealt with Intel,
it was a PITA to get running and did not have near the
capabilities of nVidia.

The RHCE[1] is the leading computer certification today.[2] This
performance-based test measures what you can do on a real machine not
what you can guess on paper. This is _not_ a multiple choice exam. The
test has been described as "grueling".[3]
The good news is that passing the test will put yo

I wouldn't really agree with this. While, for gamers, the Intel
chipsets are underpowered, for most users that isn't an issue. But,

Here is what I have found out.

Many of my apps require db 4.6, so I have to have 4.5 for ldap and 4.6 for
everything else. I just copied the libraries back that I needed for 4.5 and

Hans, (I) use "Acronis True Image Home" It is NOT linux based. It is a
WinXP product BUT I boot from its disk into the Acronis OS/Environment

to restore individual files too.

Just as an aside, ubuntu 7.10 inherently supports ntfs including for

oh yeah, i downloaded (on dial up :( ) the updates, all 127 of them, but
did not install them because it said
'not authenticated warning warning will robinson this could damage or do
something yucky and malicious to your system if you install it'

are you comfortable reinstalling from scratch?

this is from a tech standpoint, not really from a linux standpoint.

Thanks for the comments -- one more thought.
I have my /home on a separate partition. In doing the fresh install
of Gutsy (not an upgrade) I pointed the installer that that partition,

But in doing that, did I carry forward settings that clobbe
I second the recommendation of "Beginning Ubuntu Linux: From Novice to
Professional". I found it a very good book. "Moving to Ubuntu Linux"
(also paperback) by Marcel Gagne is also good.
