Is Dell Wavering In Its Support For Ubuntu?
Among the major PC manufacturers, as we've noted on OStatic a number of times, Dell--the number two player behind Hewlett-Packard--has shown fairly unflinching support for Linux. It has offered Ubuntu, which has steadily become more graphical, more compatible and easier to use, as a pre-loaded option for a long time. The company even drew headlines recently for proclaiming Ubuntu "safer" than Windows from a security standpoint. Now, though, whether pressure from Microsoft is the explanation or for any number of other reasons, the company appears to be backpedaling from that stance. A look at the company's U.K.-based site shows some questionable positioning of Ubuntu.
Get it Done Faster With Gnome-DO
It happens all the time. I'm in the terminal, checking out the latest alert from Nagios, and I find that I need to chat with one of the application administrators because WebSphere decided to fill up the /opt partition with logs. At this point, I could either pick up the mouse, click on the Pidgion icon in the menu bar, find the person I'm looking for, and double click their name to start a chat, or, I could launch Gnome-Do with a few keyboard strokes and be done in seconds.
Dell's Ubuntu Page Loses Assurances Of Safety
Just last week, we here at OStatic praised Dell Computer for its unwavering support for Linux, and particularly for Ubuntu. Dell has consistently offered systems pre-loaded with Ubuntu and has remained vocal about many of the operating system's strong points. However, in what is very probably an illustration of how Linux is perceived as a threat to other operating systems, Dell's Ubuntu page now does not include certain advantages of the OS that were cited on the very same page last week.
Mount a linux drive on XP and Vice Versa?
I am using two o/s ( Xp Sp 2 and Ubuntu 5.04) on different drives. The issue is that when am using one, i cant see the other drive.
I use linux to surf the net because i understand that its not easily attacked by virus but after i have downloaded some notes and programs i'd like to turn back Xp to access those programs reason being am comfortable using XP which is where the problem arises.
As a result, I am forced to dowload them to flashdisk so that I can access them from there. Would appreciate any help because this is a tiring process i have to undergo everyday.
How can we, the Voters, tell the Presidential Candidates about this most important matter?
What kind of mass marketing style petition can we, the Voters who care about the failed Education System, put together to send to both Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama? To make this idea of every student who doesn't have a computer, own a linux powered laptop computer so they can access the internet for homework research and to create their own multimedia reports using OpenOffice and other such programs??? There has to be a coupon debit-like card with $300 to $600 that can only be used via schools and/or online vendors for the parents to purchase low cost linux powered laptop computers? But it has to be able to run Windows XP Home Ediition as another choice besides Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, or Debian.

Iphone & ubuntu 7.1?
Can I sync my iPhone with my Ubuntu PC. I use Amarok to manage my music collection.
Having done some research many of the suggested methods to sync the iPhone require "jailbreaking it" to get access to the file system. I don't want to mod the iPhone in any way.
Ubuntu 7.1 - impressions?
Gutsy Gibbon is out - any impressions? It seems like this is a much slicker version of Ubuntu. My concern is that while great, it is still not as robust as, say, Mac OS X. I'm curious to know how close it gets!
Any thoughts?
