Hi all,
We'll be recording episode 10 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast shortly. Have any
of you seen any Ubuntu/Linux/FLOSS related news recently that we might
want to include or talk about?
Cheers,

I want to run a windows application, which will not run under wine, in
Ubuntu 8.04. There appear to be a number of techniques and I would be
grateful for suggestions as to the most reliable, in your opinion.
Thank you.

I prefer to run my windows applications under Vmware (or any other
virtualization software).
I find it very reliable (and trendy)

I installed virtualbox/winXP yesterday, it works really well. I am running
photoshop in it and the performance is good. You do need a reasonably beefy
machine, I have a Dual core athlon(around 2ghz) and 3gb of ram.
The only thing that wasn't working was USB, but this can probably be fixed
fairly
Much like Michael I also use virtual-box, but I would add that depending
on your circumstances you may need the PUEL edition. This is not open
source, but it is still free (as in beer) for personal use. The main
feature it has that the open source edition does not is that it can
share USB devices

Has anyone connected a Samsung C300 mobile to their Ubuntu PC? I'm
thinking I should back up my address book, but I don't want to buy a
data cable if it won't work anyway. Mean, me? - never! :)
I know this is a pretty basic handset.

I have hit a snag. Using synaptic, I installed VirtualBox and it
certainly starts up OK. However, after setting things up, I cannot start
the virtual set up but get an error message saying that I am missing
some kernel file. I must have missed something but I am not sure what it
is. Could you help

I'm not sure, but I think you will need to match the kernels number directly.
Have a look, there should be one without the kernel number that will
automagically select the appropriate one. Otherwise just try it and
see what happens :-)

I've just set myself up a GPG key etc., and was wondering if anyone
could recommend which keyserver to use? There are a couple of examples
in the default gpg.conf file, but so gpg hasn't been able to retrieve
the public keys for any of the signatures I've seen so far (mainly in
this mailing list).
I probably spend a few quid in CD-R's as I keep loosing the ubuntu ones.
Having a printed one is a benefit as it is distinguishable. Could this be
the version for the non techies, due to the support provided? Great for
parents etc.
