ssibly going to end in tears on an alpha - and Unity
does seem very intolerant of hacking it about.
By the look of Nemo's functionality it does seem like a good idea to
dump Nautilus and replace it with Nemo for 13.04?

Then I got a load of freezing and system crashing (that's right, no
keyboard, total lockup).
Terminally lost patience with 12.04, everything I read indicates that
12.10 is just as bad so I upgraded to the 13.04 alpha. So far, I've had
less bother with the alpha than
anquilPC, Yoyotech, Novatech, pre-built
barebones from eBay, Linux Emporium . . . I feel like a kid in a candy

Yyyy! 3.8 kernel does have the module. I generally find the next
version of Ubuntu solves probs with drivers for relatively new equipment.

hich I accidentally left in Starbucks
on Freiburg Central Station before xmas. The Lenovo was fine but it
weighed a ton, I had to pay Windows tax on it (not available naked) and
the spec per £ ratio is even lower with low-end Lenovos than it is with
the (naked) PCSpecialist Clevos.

driver should be in kernel 3.8. The current driver is a tad flaky, drops
connection irritatingly. Having said that, the chip might vary even in
the same Zoostorm model but I've got 3 different Zoostorm laptops/PCs
and they all installed without fuss except for the occasional wifi
riendly as well as man-friendly and
milling about drinking tea in a low-key environment is less intimidating
- probably for beginners of all sorts and sizes ;) Helps if convenient
for transport and reasonably central too.

No, I haven't filed a bug report because I don't feel like breaking my
system in order to reproduce it and don't have time to get to the bottom
of it . . . maybe over the xmas break I'll look into it.

and Dropbox now for my own personal use but will continue to promote

ill it
go to 2D on Oneiric? Is that supported by NX? There was some talk about
getting x2go into Oneiric but I don't know if this happened - or if that
will work with 2D?
Anyway, if you're desperate for classic, apparently you can still
install the package gnome-session-fallback on Oneiric but
rking to raise enough donations for some half-page ads
in the national press.
I hesitate to suggest stuff I don't have the time to do myself, but
since it's come up, I had been thinking about it. If anyone's a whizz
with social networking, a sustained and planned campaign might go

No, sorry, no details - but I'll probably speak to her later so I'll ask
her - and let her know that a process has kicked off and that people
care :)

Yeah, that's a whole kettle of fish and really not economic - it was
always hard to make it work but now that you're competing with huge WEEE
recycling companies it's almost impossible to do on a small scale.

At the expo formerly known as Linux, can't find anyone, no-one's heard of
ubuntu or .org. I don't have anyone's mobile number and no one seems to have
Skype online. Giving up and going home.

aptop inside is great though.
I asked Novatech before I bought it if it would work with Ubuntu and they got
tetchy - they don't test them and it's at your own risk. I googled, couldn't
see any probs and there were none. If you want it tested, it's back to LE.
