[ubuntu-uk] Evolution's compulsory GPG routine

Hello everybody. I'm now using my new Linux Emporium Thinkpad, and very nice it is too -- it accepts Ubuntu updates, without immediately disabling itself the way the Linux Certified machine used to do. However, my usual problems with default Ubuntu clients have returned, especially the compulsory G

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Evolution's compulsory GPG routine

Hi, What you describe sounds more like the Gnome Keyring rather than any GPG-based program. They keyring is what stores your passwords etc, it is used for WEP/WPA keys along with any other password in the system. I'm guessing that you have passwords in Evolution to your email accounts etc, and t

I must admit I have struggled with windows and Linux from a very early stage, as far back as 1992. I just did not want to go down the MS route. I have never believed in it so tried early doors of Slackware then Red hat blah blah blah. I now have gone over to iMAC which I love because of the UNIX ba

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Word 2002 under Wine?

I have to disagree. Linux (I mean Ubuntu, of course) IS as friendly a Windows. Many things go wrong and are difficult under Windows. Word always crashes first time I use it - OpenOffice.org never does. I find a lot of hardware 'just works' under Ubuntu without the tiresome 'found new hardwar
