work, especially graphics (since it may reduce the amount of redrawing
the applications need to do), as the Mac's subtle 3D is a nice touch
which may be missed by people trying Ubuntu Studio.

That is what I did as soon as it was made available, but it is still
pretty dodgy as I say, meaning I occasionally have to use
emory
leaks.
Basically what I am saying is, as a 64bit user, it can be incredibly
complicated to browse common Flash-based sites, and after trying
pretty much everything else nspluginwrapper is by far the easiest
way to get it working, not only in Firefox but in every other
Netscape-supporting browser
echnologies either.
Hope that helps,

The build-dep command looks at the source package of whateve
BOINC is already in Ubuntu Universe. The boinc-client package will run
as a daemon when the system boots up, and it can be controlled by
boing-manager and kboincspy (for GNOME and KDE respectively).
If you really want to build the SVN version then I would recommend using

hatever packages they find.
As a side note I think that the idea of a list of third party repos is
flawed. It doesn't solve us-and-them issues, it just creates an
us-and-these-and-them situation. The solution needs to be implementable
by anyone, decentralised, robust and generic.
