Re: [ubuntu-uk] gFTP

I use gFtp and find it to be pretty much ok. However, I do really feel it to be pretty limited compared to filezilla which I use on windows all the time. Was surprised that filezilla was already available as a package on nix, looks like it might be on the way though. On 18/04/07, TheVeech <[EMAIL

[ubuntu-uk] Orange broadband

I've had a good report on Orange broadband, from someone who uses it to run his business. But the CD only list Windows, and website requirements state Windows. I've asked about Linux, but while I wait for a reply, does anyone else use Orange broadband with Ubuntu? TIA Dianne Reuby -- ubuntu-uk

As I write, I have a stack of four servers that need to "go live" next week sitting on the floor next to me. Two web-heads, two database servers - all installed with Edgy about a week ago and working nicely as a cluster. Now the key question - for SERVER use, is it worth doing the upgrade now, or

For anyone downloading Kubuntu 7.04 desktop i386 , I suggest using the HTTP download, the torrent is much slower (>25kbps compared to ~70kbps for HTTP) at the moment. Cheers, James -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/U

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Should I move to Feisty?

Baz / Alan / Leon, Thanks for the advice. I went for Edgy rather than Dapper because (AIUI), MySQL5 was standard in Edgy and MySQL4 in Dapper - and the codebase we are running needs MySQL5 - (lots of stored procedures: in fact, as of last night, exactly 100 of them!) I think I'll stay with Edgy

I use BT and have done so for the past 3 years. Mainly for their reliability and the peace of mind that not all of the helpdesks are out of country. The only downside is that they are a Windows house. The major problem I get though is contention but unfortunately that you'll get with any ISP tha
