Ubiquity can now install onto a partition that has an existing home directory
without deleting it. It just removes the system directories.
A separate home adds the hassle of filling up one partition, but have lots of

Hi
the mainline ppa seems to be a bit neglected at the moment.
there have been no stable updates to the 2.6.33 series (should be up to
2.6.33.2)
the source and headers packages are missing for some kenrels, eg
v2.6.34-rc4-lucid meaning i can't build extra modules (openafs).

the best vector graphics app is inkscape. it is probably a bit big to add to
the default package list. (though it could probably be cut down. inkscape does
ship with 36MB of uncompressed tutorial svg files for example)
