Can someone help me I am new to Ubuntu- last night some information appeared
down in the right hand corner of the screen telling me about a bug. The
information ended up on the desktop and after a few hours I deleted it. It

I hasten to point out that freeware is not free software; in any way.
Free software is a system of morals and ethics which somehow results in
much of the software involved being free - as in price - to use.
Freeware only implies the latter, and implies not the former.

Suse has been around much longer than ubuntu and is a version of
linux, based on KDE (now owned by Novell). Tiger is the current
operating system of Apple Mac computers, based on Unix. Apple Mac is
an alternative world with many different ways of doing the same thing
which is very confus

Presume Suse, and Tiger is an old version on MacOS.

Hi,
I'm thinking about getting myself a new PC, it'll be very cheap which of
course means integrated graphics which I believe is pretty much a no-no

If you ever end up on a MS office only computer with an ODF file then
have a look at this site http://www.zamzar.com/
It converts loads of different formats and then emails the results to

I assume that you are at the same level of simplicity and find that the help
facility is like the curate's egg, good in parts. You type your message in
open office then save as, under file type, click on windows XP which gives
you a .doc suffix. Microsoft should understand this.

If Ubuntu is to be as successful as has been mooted, the package needs to be
lubriciously simple so that complete beginners with nil knowledge can take
advantage of the secondhand machines which are said to abound. For instance
