This pen-drive example looks crap. I have been using Pen-Drive on Debian since c. 2004 (Sarge Snapshot). Some more better examples? Etch is not Testing, it is stable now (Since April 8).

Debian do in my cases. See any package in PTS. There is section called: 'Patches from Ubuntu' and yes, all patches in Ubuntu are available under: http://patches.ubuntu.com In many cases, Ubuntu is also upstream for Debian packages (because some developers are working at Cannonical). Ofcourse, Ubuntu has more artwork, shiny things than Debian. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Kartik Mistry | Eng: kartikmistry.org/blog 0xD1028C8D | Guj: kartikm.wordpress.com --------------------------------------------------------

GCC 4.0 (C Compiler) on Kubuntu 6.06
by Roshan 25 May '07

25 May '07

List, I had to install GCC C compiler in Kubuntu 6.06, and found that it isn't installed with the default setup. I found out that GCC 4.0 base system (whatever that is) is installed. I used Adept to install GCC C compiler, assuming it would setup everything that I need to run C programs. You can run the command (sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0) to install GNU C compiler. Assuming that the installation of the compiler is with all the essential parts to run C programs, I wrote the traditional "HelloWorld" program and compiled it, also passing a parameter to generate a specific output file. The result: "Error: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory" Logged on to the #gcc channel on IRC and I was told to install libc6-dev. (sudo apt-get install libc6-dev) Now, this is just the C libraries. There are few other packages that would have to be installed for additional support of programming languages. What next? Compiled and Executed the HelloWorld Program. Hope this experience helps, newbies like me. :) For C++, I guess one needs libstdc++6-4.0-dev. For those with loads of data transfer capabilites (no caps) can use the following command sudo apt-get install build-essentail.

Ubuntu update-manager makes system unresponsive for large updates
by Chetan S 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi all, I am running on ubuntu gutsy without any problems for a while. One of the things i encountered, was the heavy load the update process can put onto your system making it almost freeze. Well for now I do this via cli - sudo nice -n 19 apt-get update sudo nice -n 19 apt-get dist-upgrade This leaves my system upgraded and usable in the time when its upgrading. Any thoughts on how I can make the update-manager from ubuntu play nice ? C

Troll is definitely require here. Do you know what is contribution of Novell in pushing OO.o to masses? Do you know that almost all top OO.o developers are working with Novell to contribute and making OO.o better? Do you Know about Micheal Meeks/Pavel Janik/.. ?
