Supposing I have a netbook loaded with Xubuntu that I want to sell on
(shameless plug, eBay item 290811097220).
If it was running a Microsoft OS, I'd create a new user, remove the old one,

This niggling little irk is spoiling my otherwise sublime Xubuntu experience -
sessions in Xubuntu start with a terminal window, Google Chrome and 5 or 6

At the risk of someone having had a similar problem, I'm struggling to install
Ubuntu on my desktop. My netbook accepted Xubuntu absolutely fine, and I am
getting to grips it. My desktop however won't accept Ubuntu x86.
I have tried with a CDROM and unetbootin, with the live CD and with the

I would say if DOSbox doesn't do it for you, try installing Win '95 to VMWare
Virtual Box or some such similar. That way, you could limit the amount of RAM
allocated to your Win '95 installation (and you can run it within MSWin, Linux

I have to agree with most being said about Unity and how it is such a jump from
what we were used to. I understand the evolution of software, from one version

registry file that is corrupted, I suspect that I would need to

On my netbook, I use 10.10, the last version to run before Unity was
introduced. Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I liked Gnome desktop.
If I was to go for a wipe and reload in the next coupla days, how easy is it to
ditch Unity and switch back to Gnome desktop blinged up with CCSM??
