I actually agree with the strategy proposed.
Remove the partition entirely, having copied everything you need from
it, and then let Ubuntu detect (and use) the "free space".

Oh and on the SOCITM thing, you might not know that in addition to
what they're doing in Newham, Bristol City Council's entire desktop
estate is SuSe-driven. And I'm familiar with the chap who 'made it so'
- they know what they're doing down in Zomerzet ;)

Somewhat tangentially related to that comment, I did always wonder
why every local authority seemingly commissioned its own IT solution
for managing council tax.

It does indeed, but it doesn't explain or significantly help in
locating and removing an existing Windows par
Its very informative, and I actually learned a bit from it, but it was
far too detailed for me to be able to sit and read happily. If I was
trying to educate my mum on Linux, I may send her to it since my

Wow, that comic is truely awful. I feel sorry for the person who put
all that effort into the graphics, I really liked the attention to
detail with the penguin receiving a call on his OpenMoko Freerunner.
Shame the text was so bad - this is definitely NOT the message that
should be put out there.
Hi there, under System/preferences/screensaver there is a screen saver
called F-Spot Photos.
Within F-Spot photo manager tag some photos as favorites...
These will be shown in the screensaver
Hope this helps

Open Standards are definitely required.

Morning All,
I have an ubuntu machine that I am running Boxee on, and I also have a 250GB
