A person who does photoshop mock-ups and GUI ideas is a "web designer".
The sucker that has to take these intriquitly imagined nightmares are "web developers.
Some people do both (good for them), but if you've ever had to build a website under the guise of a graphics artist, you will know exactly what I mean.
From what I've seen, it only removes/installs the basic application list using synaptic/apt-get. I have removed/purged origami 3 times. I even manually removed it from the startup list and it STILL started on every freaking bootup!
Oh well, I've reinstalled since then and do my FAH on my PS3 now anyways
As impossible as it sounds, there ARE people who "love" windows. I've known a few professional network admins that would never even touch a *nix system.
Mind you, I would never trust either of them with my machine, but I'm just saying that they DO exist.

I'm glad that where you live there are places you can buy machines without windows. Up here (Canada), the only way to get one is online and that usually means you have both a currency exchange AND international shipping. To get a comparable laptop without windows, you end up paying about 50% more than the windows version.
So how does seeding work with this? My upload cap is MUCH lower than my download, so if it only seeds while you are upgrading, I sure wouldn't meet 1.0 ratio (or the 2.0 I usually aim for).
You've never tried to download from the servers on release day have you? There's a reason I always grab my ISO's off the torrents (then seed from my server while upgrading my other machines).
I running the beta for jaunty right now and am planning a full reinstall when the full release comes out. Are they are advantages to sticking with ext3 over ext4. My / partition is the only one I'm seriously considering changing, my/home will most likely stay ext3 till at least 9.10.
I know there are utility (live defrag, etc) and marginal performance updates in ext4, but I'm mostly worried about stability.
Google only seems to bring up performance comparisons with very few sites even hinting at stability.
Any tricks to getting/var to go on a separate partition nicely? Every time I try it, the mysql server can't find the files:(
I usually mount all my partitions inside/media/, then "ln -s" the actual points (/home,/var)./home doesn't complain about being a link, but mysql sure throws a fit when/var is a link!
I don't know about *missing* packages, but I've noticed the Canadian server is dog slow. I get about a 10x speed increase by switching to the Main server. First thing I do when installing ubuntu on a friends machine is switch it to the Main server.

Yeah, that was my Achilles heal when it came to social studies. To this day, I couldn't tell you which CENTURY the Vikings came over...
I hate it when people say "web designer".

Bath beads are fun. Keep one under the edge of your desk, when the cops come in, pop in in your mouth and bite down, INSTANT RABIES!
What's a she?
No, defamation must be based on a lye! Telling the uncomfortable truth is NEVER defamation, just a badly hidden secret...
So the trick is to mount it "directly" to /var?
I guess that would work, it's just annoying have every external item on my FS as a separate partition instead of folders on a secondary partition.

I've seen OpenOffice in linux mess up presentations created in Microsoft Office, but there are 2 reasons for that:

Makes sense. 2MB = 16Mb (8 bits per Byte).
Sounds like you're getting a perfect connection to me! (or did you do that on purpose, I'm bad at detecting sarcasm in text...)

Danger Will Robinson!
I have heard many reports of ext3 to ext4 upgrades completely nuking partitions! If you want ext4, I'd strongly suggest a full wipe.
Doesn't work so well when you have a 64 bit laptop, a 32 bit laptop and a 32 bit server :(
pfff, my father used to beat me with stones grouped in piles of 10 in the dirt!

Amarok 1 or 2? Beware, Amarok1 has be REMOVED from jaunty due to KDE no longer developing it.
At first I was pretty upset, but Rhythmbox (remember that?) has actually all but caught up with amarok1.x I am very happy with Rhythmbox now.
Maybe you can use it to play Duke Nukem Forever!
Worked for me (64 bit jaunty beta using firefox).
If you had command line, why did you just reinstall the packages...?
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
should get *most* of them back.
I tend to do a full reinstall, not for stability issues, but because it works as a kind of "cleaner".
So far wiping / is the only way I've found to kill that f*cking origami (FAH) service!

I know the packages/iso's are downloaded through http, but aren't the pgp keys downloaded through https?
