I guess that you make your money from Windows development and do not have the faintest when it comes to any other OS tech. My advice to you is to broaden your horizons.
Love the encrypted home folder option. Default disk burning application has improved. Faster boot, seems faster overall (newer GCC?).
Well done to all involved.
An update should work fine.
I have my home folder on a separate partition which allows for an easy fresh install.
When doing a fresh install I partition my drive so that there are 2 partitions for Linux. The Ubuntu installer allows you to specify which partition should be mounted as root i.e. / and which should be mounted as/home - this will contain you user home folders.
When doing a reinstall, I re-specify the same locations again, but do not format the/home partition. Set the installer to use the same user name as the old install.
After you have finished the install, you will then login to you new install but with all your old settings. I then install all the applications you normally use and all is done.
It helps to create any extra users in the same order as before, this prevents permissions issues. If you do have permissions issues they are easily fixed, google or use the Ubuntu forums.
Best of luck,
Sygin
I am using the new Ubuntu Jaunty, the good news is that it now works better than ALSA.
If you upgrade, make sure to remove killall pulseaudio as it will muck things up.

My credit card has been ripped in the past. I lost £50 and the rest was refunded.
I get the distinct impression that the banks do not care to catch the perpetrators or in fact, stop fraud. It is more cost effective to do the minimum required and get us to fund the losses.
Think about it, spend wads of cash on security or just increase bank charges etc to pay for loses.
Banks are not interested in fraud. They have already run the numbers.
I keep reading comments by people saying "Everyone said that XP sucked when it came out...". The fact is that XP did suck when it came out and was only usable after SP2.
Vista has only just been released. Please don't judge it until Vista SP2 is out. It will be better than XP by then.
PS: I will laugh my ass off if this DirectX-10 for Windows XP hack pans out.
Yes even the great MS overlords now realise that Firefox has gained enough traction to force their hand. They want WMV to reign supreme and this means Firefox support.
What would really surprise me is if it supported the Linux version of Firefox.
This Ubuntu release 7.04 boots faster and is snappier than the previous 6.10. It no longer requires prelinking to increase speed.
From the ubuntu forums:
"UPDATE 1/2/07: Prelink is no longer necessary in Feisty. Feisty uses a new linking mechanism called DT_GNU_HASH which dramatically speeds up the linking process without the need for continuously running the prelink program."
Another great improvement is hardware (esp. wireless and graphics) support.
Now thats progress, each release faster and better than the last.
I think an interesting study would be to harvest spam, scan for pump and dump, and buy stock based on verious factors. If you refined you algorithm perhaps you could get an application that would buy and sell pump and dump stock on your behalf, and make money in the process
I would practice with virtual stock at first.
Could an application buy and sell stock without human intervention?
The patent system needs to be updated to reflect the world we live in now, not the world hundreds of years ago. There are many examples of patents holding back progress.
Retina scanning is a typical example of this. One group/person holds most of the patents on this tech, how many times have you had your retina scanned? There is an only a few obvious methods to get the job done and the patent holder controls all of them. I guarantee that when those patents expire, we will have mainstream retina scanners everywhere.
For a start: 1. tech patents should have a shorter lifespan. 2. Getting a software patent should be damn nigh impossible.
I have been using Firefox 2.0 on Windows and Linux for a while now (RC1)
1. It is faster than 1.5 2. It is more stable than 1.5 3. It is smaller than 1.5 4. It does more 'out the box' - requires less extensions 5. It looks better than 1.5 7. I love the spell checking 8. It is more secure than 1.5 9.If it uses more memory, it is because it remembers
the previous pages and the back button works instantly.
The reasons not to quoted in the 'story' are moronic
Japan's companies have realised that to remain in contention in the new global (eyes towards China and India) economy, they must take a radical approach.
I was on a lean manufacturing course which teaches what the Japanese componies do to perfect their manufacturing processes. If a small improvement will not suffice you need to implement radical change.
This is an article describing the radical change in thinking that is now being considered. At times like we have today where the rules have changed very rapidly, you need focused thinking. Look at how china is developing, their version of capitalism seems to be very focused.
PS: Spelling is VERY hard for me.
Overheard: Lets hope the ragheads are wrong, that Bush is not a lyer, and Tony is strong.
I come from a Windows Delphi background. I have looked at Java and from my brief experiences with it I have found it very "foreign". The learning curve, for me, is be very steep.
Using.Net on windows and now Mono with Linux I can create applications with a very small learning curve. C# has been influenced by Object Pascal, and a lot of the design decisions or it was based off the Delphi experience.
As a bonus, the applications I create with MonoDevelop and Mono run on Windows. I can also easily port my Mono work to Windows.Net and vice versa.
For Windows there is a free IDE called SharpDevelop and for Linux there is MonoDevelop and Glade.
I belive that Mono has a bright future on the Linux platform.

It works a treat.
Totally transparent to the user, no typing in 128bit pass phrases. The user's password unwraps the 128-bit pass phrase at login.
The user's password can change, this just re-wraps the 128-bit pass phrase using the new user password.
It is a good idea to make a note of the 128-bit pass phrase by using the command:
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
I think the option for encrypted home folders is only available using the alternate installer.
There is also support for adding other users with their own encrypted folders.
Have you verified that the CD you are using is defect free? There is a test CD option if you can get as far as the live CD menu.
I am seeding at the moment, time to see what unlimited broadband really means.

Yes seems to be much better, just remove any script you added to kill pulse audio.
very carefully.

You gave up just when things have clicked.
At least you use XP and not VISTA.
PS: 2008 is the year
A Release Candidate is just that, bar show stoppers it is a final release.
No major changes will be made to it.
If you are still defending the Vista then I have some shares you may want to buy.
Stick to XP (still the best MS has made.)
I keep reading comments by people saying "Everyone said that XP sucked when it came out ...".
The fact is that XP did suck when it came out and was only usable after SP2.

Ubuntu is easy to get up and running with, you can always migrate later if you want to. it has great support forums.
Make a brain machine interface, plug in and play till you die!
I enjoy the occasional Metal Slug and other arcade games using M.A.M.E.
Joystick support included.
