EDIT::::::
OK, have been working on the BETA now for almost a full workday, and there is much to like.
Gnome is still Gnome since i used it about 5 years, some apps come and some apps go as usual [...]

Karmic Koala, first impression

MMM OK, the boot up is fast with the new upstart and the new log in screen looks promising even though its still a little rough around the etches.
I have not used Gnome in a while or Karmic with another desktop so i don’t know who to blame yet,but i must say my desktop feels [...]

Karmic Koala installation

As mentioned in the the post the road to Lucid Lynx i will be trying out Karmic Koala Gnome version as a test to see if i can transition from a customised Xubuntu version that i have been using over the years.
The Beta version of Karmic Koala shows the same cd boot screen that we [...]

the road to Lucid Lynx

Have been using Xubuntu for the last several years as my desktop of choice since the days of the first LTS Dapper Drake, the XFCE desktop proved to me a more sane and stable desktop environment then the Ubuntu Gnome version, especially some exciting new features (bugs and quirks) concerning the file manager (Nautilus) and [...]

hylafax lenny vserver

HylaFAX

http://manpages.songshu.org/manpages/lenny/en/man5/hylafax-server.5.html

Hylafax runs very well in a Vserver, all that needs to be done extra compared to a “normal” install is to copy the /dev/ttyS0 so Hylafx can reach it from within the Vserver.

It is absolutely not needed to have Hylafax run in a Vserver but since this is a “low profile” setup for about a [...]

Getting High with Lenny

Getting High with Lenny
