What’s new about this one?, well… everything!!. I’ll start by saying that the icons have been resized to 48×48 and in this resize process every icon got modified :) . This release is compliant with FreeDesktop.org’s Icon Naming Specification (just like Giøn). It also includes 22×22, 24×24, 48×48 and 128×128 PNGs (for those of you who prefer use PNGs instead of SVG for performance) 16×16 is coming in the final release.

This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas. If you really want the security and performance of a Unix-based OS but with a customer-focussed attitude and an world-renowned interface: Buy an Apple Mac. OS X is great. But don't get Linux: It will not do what you want it to do.

It's entirely possible that you may not have heard of Linux. Maybe you own a Mac or Windows computer and don't read the technology news. You may have a TiVo, but it doesn't have a huge sticker on the box that reads "Powered by Linux" (even though it is). You may use Google, but it doesn't have any announcement on its homepage that it's run on Linux servers (even though it is). Whether you've heard of Linux or not--it probably plays a role in your life somehow. Computing > Linux narky Tue, 05 Sep 2006 03:43:09 GMT http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/1/ Alright, so you have successfully installed Ubuntu Linux, but now what do you do with it? You are in the right place. I am going to get you started with a guide on how to use your new Ubuntu system. This transition guide is targeted at existing Windows users and will show you how to do program installations, a little system configuration, but primarily highlight some Windows "replacement" programs for common applications you can't live without. This guide's intent is to introduce you to equivalent programs to what you are accustomed to and, hopefully, to cover a good amount of what you might want in a new install.

The platform is solid, hardware and software support is mature, and the performance is incredible. It's been about eight months since I started running 64-bit Windows as my everyday platform. The transition from my trusty 32-bit workstation to a new HP box with dual AMD Opteron processors and Windows XP Professional, x64 Edition, has truly been a platform migration: There were workarounds, a learning curve, and some frustrations with hardware and software support.

Sounds simply it's so not! So when I finally found a program that could find the shares. They wouldn't mount. You have to follow this guys code. see note.

Nautilus mounted them fine, and displayed the correct folder and file names, but the files were not cashed which caused very slow response times, and I was having difficulty with my keyring among other things.
