Evening Folks
Just to let all interested parties know that I'm putting this particular
idea on hold for the time being. This is primarily as a result of changes
that are happening upstream in Gnome, and until things have settled down
there, I don't feel right comfortable with demonstrating Ubuntu

Just a thought - What about sending an email to the manufacturers of
hardware which says on the packaging that it is compatible with Linux
thanking them for making their item so useful.

Hi all,
Since I've upgraded to Gutsy, I've noticed an interesting change in
behaviour with apt.
If I run
apt-get install php5-mysql
it doesn't install everything that's required (such as
apache2/modphp/mysql-server etc), just a very basic set of dependencies.
PHPGroupWare is another good exam

Hi, are there any media databases for Ubuntu, written in a web viewable

I am looking for a system to catalogue video (recoded tv) in a database, and
