I knew that Windows is stupid operating system, but... run screensaver from root! Hysteric laughing...
VNC is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the "VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows Vista desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home. For ultimate simplicity, there is even a Java viewer, so that any desktop can be controlled remotely from within a browser without having to install software.
The name for new ubuntu release - 9.10 - was agreed.
Aside from having a cute name, Ubuntu 9.10 will have huge improvements in both the server and desktop editions. For the server, it will be embracing the API’s of Amazon EC2 making it easy for anybody to setup their own cloud using entirely open source tools. For the desktop, there will be massive changes. Ubuntu may use Red Hat’s Plymouth graphical boot in favor of Usplash. They are also aiming for a much faster boot speed.
Perhaps the most interesting part in Mark Shuttleworth’s latest announcement is this:
"The desktop will have a designer’s fingerprints all over it - we’re now beginning the serious push to a new look. Brown has served us well but the Koala is considering other options. Come to UDS for a preview of the whole new look."
I liked Kinetic Kiwi, but this is my personal opinion. Well, waiting for first installation pack :)
I definately need console CD burnung tool. And to set up mutt at last!
Usually I write CDs with brasero, the software that comes with my OS. Maybe there are better alternates, but I need to find them. In any case I like Brasero, it is simple enough.
I also was told that it is possible to burn images with cdrecord console command.
man cdrecord
If you need to add fonts from Win to ubuntu, please copy them to /home/username/.fonts
You also can use msttcorefonts library and copy font files to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
If you are having problems with Opera browser, use Font settings or just re-install it.

New attempt to set up wi-fi, configs, configs, drivers...
Maybe I have to reset AP. Ok, I that case I need to learn how to tune it again cause I need WPA.
I am having constant problems with sound. When I plug in headphones and then turn on the music, amaros says "can't initialize xine driver". And when I turn it on just as is and then plug in headphones, everything is ok. Is there a way to fix the problem or not just to reboot each time I forgot about this bug?
Today I discussed with Zerg ability of using website templates with Linux. Result is not very good...
It displayes layers created in Photoshop in improper order. Also is disables masks and shows invisible layers. Effects display different then initial files too. Maybe all this can be fixed with appropriate skills in GIMP. But I'm not sure.
Also the question with slices is still open. Does GIMP allow to save for web? I know in has slising tool, but not sure how to use it. Also is there any software similar to Dreamweaver,but native to Linux?
Dear webmasters! Please answer if possible.
