I am not being pointlessly pedantic - this sort of thing matters when you're asking support questions. Precision is really important. > Also, I think you mean "Linpus Lite", not "Linux Lite". > > Yeh, you are right, it was a while ago I got it, and I had never heard of it > before...... It was quite common for a while. The first Asus Eee netbooks came with a version of Xandros Linux with the LXDE netbook launcher. Acer used Linpus Lite instead. It's OK, but the problem is, it's difficult to update - for instance it has a really elderly version of Firefox, 2.0 I think, and nothing newer is available. The last time someone asked me to update their Linpus machine, I found it much easier to just put Ubuntu on it. > That all depenends on whether you know what you are doing when you open up > the file system of the phone......and it still doesnt help with the > upgrades, if you screw up when you delete a file, that is your operating > system gone, and you dont get support from your phone company if you tell > them you screwed up... The OS is in ROM - you can't just delete files from it. Many people /want/ to be able to delete stuff - for instance, on my HTC, I had 2 email clients, 2 Twitter clients, a Stocks application I have no use for and so on. But you can't just delete stuff from ROM. That's why there is a thriving ROM-modding community, notably CyanogenMod. > ..only way to get it back is to use Kies......and you > cant use Kies in Ubuntu... I had to Google this; despite using several HTC devices, I'd never heard of it. It emerges that this is a Samsung tool and only applies to Samsung devices. Can you not just update over-the-air? That's what I did, the 3 times I re-flashed my Desire HD. Much easier, & doesn't need a PC at all. > ...I tried installing iTunes via Wine, it worked > for about 5 minutes then I havent been able to get it to work since..... This is an issue for Apple iDevice owners. Personally, I use a Mac. :¬) I think WINE has specific support for certain older versions of iTunes - you can't just use the latest one. iTunes installs a lot of background services and things - it is not an easy app for WINE to run. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
