Of course what this topic is about is not technical merit or technical
delivery. It about the emotional attachment people have to how they wish
to locarte and organise their data. I can think of several cases amongst
the community where people have expressed preferences for Email over
IRC, Web
Here's another suggestion for threading... gmail...
Has some very advanced features when it comes to threads... only a case
of folks who want that setting up themselves a new account purely for
the list and the end result will be something not unlike a forum...

For what purpose? Having a mailing list *and* a forum almost always lead
Isnt all this a little moot ? since the mail lists are archived ? Dont
the archives suffice to provide a web source of the conversations. ?

Hi
I realise it was spoken about some week ago, but I really do feel that
perhaps we should re-visit the possibility of an online discussion forum. A
simple website, with nothing more than a discussion forum if we want. It
doesn't have to be anything major. I could rattle one up in a weekend for u
so you antivirus progs (kspersky,Lavasoft's ad aware) firewall, spyware
removing applications be installed...i used to use them on windows! sorry im

Long term support generally just refers to how long Canonical will be
supporting it, the long term is because dapper is supported by Canonical
for a much longer time than the other releases. Unless, however, you are

I suspect on Linux, the process would not start from e-mail, mainly

So the BBC have yet again trotted out the same tired old news article
about safe surfing. As usual they dont suggest trying a different
opertating system ( well they disparage it as well ! ) but they never
really seem to investigate this new story in any depth. Now I know that
we talk about it

Try changing your keyboard layout in system/preferences/keyboard
does number 3
Good Morning All,
I've just noticed that on my Acer Aspire 5601 laptop the £ (as in
shift and 3) and capslocks keys do not 'work' in Edgy.
Can anyone suggest a) any work around and b) which package I could
