The is nothing worse than printing photos and other work for displays only to find some thicko techy who does not kno how to use quotas has reduced the size of them so the maximum size they can be printed is say 8x12 cm which is usless for display work.

1 computer for me 1 laptop for the wife. I do enough geeky stuff at work so it's the last thing I want to do in my free time. For me IT is just a job.

Our school shool is trying to deploy Open office accross our networ but cannot get rid of its stupid registration process.

It may be copy protection in the retail dvd film that prevent them playing on computer dvd drives. Sony pulled that scam a couple of years ago, their audio CDs would install a rootkit on users computers that prevented that cd playing on computers

Little knowledge etc.....

You give up too easily.

Just because I criticise ubuntu that does not mean that I hate it, its that sometimes it forces me to use skills I last used when using windows 3.1back in 1995. It' like this uninstall query, why cant i just click an app (or its tick box) then click a button that says uninstall or word to that effect? "apply changes" means nothing it's just lazy programming.

I have Ubuntu installed and it has started to run really slowly, how do I uninstall apps that I do not need to help speed things up.http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item

I know a school that uses dlink kit and there is nothing but problems with signal drop offs etc

It's not microsoft that's killing netware it the fault of people who refuse to buy it.

Uninstall quicktime.

To get a mouse to work? Not in over ten tears No way, a mailserver is quite a complex system so command line in linux & windows & any other OS is more useful than gui in those instances but, now way will I edit text to get a mouse scroll wheel to work in any OS!! All I'm saying is that if ubuntu wants to capture the market from serious windows users it has to work straight of the disk with no faffing about getting the basics to work thus leaving the users brain cell alone to concentrate on the really complex matters.

If Ubuntu doesn't do what you want try another disto... Doh! That’s like saying if you can’t swim try different water Gotta really ask the question why would you be running X (GUI) on a server anyway ? I’ dyslexic why you got a problem with that? I a very competent windows user I was just trying to find out if the grass was really greener the other side of the fence, It is not all I’ve found just ankle deep mud Just to get a basic mouse to work??? Now way not me I also remember editing autoexec.bats & msdex to get CDrom drives & mice to work with Win 3.11 but now way would I edit text to get one to work with a modern OS that sort of thing should be fixed by now.

If users had to install drivers or geek tweek lines of code just to get a basic wheel mouse to work windows would never have got the monoply that they have. Ubuntu need to learn this or it will aways be seen as a coders playground and not a serious OS

So you reckon that all those people buying those pretty little netbooks will use them for coding on their titchy 7" screens and even tinier keyboards, of course they are.
