I'm a long-time geek from back in the ‘70s. I loved Unix back then; however I made the bad choice of switching to the newest and greatest thing (DOS). Then mistake two: trying windows. And I kept making that mistake through to Windows XP. Then a friend pointed me to Ubuntu. Heaven! Well, almost. I have a dual-boot system that spends 85% of its time in Ubuntu.

Reading your article on SpiderOak in FCM#56 prodded my conscience about backups.

New to Ubuntu Linux about a year ago, I cannot understand the fuss about desktops, GUI nuances, and distribution content choices. Why should anyone object to Unity, since the user can so easily replace it? Why should I care which music player or contact manager comes standard in the distribution, | New to Ubuntu Linux about a year ago, I cannot understand the fuss about desktops, GUI nuances, and distribution content choices.

Qui fournit la documentation de qualité supérieure et le support de tout ce croustillant FLOSS ?

+ | WiFi USB Adapter | ||
I recently added a USB wifi adapter to an old desktop PC that has been running Ubuntu since I first scrapped its native WIndows 2000 system when I took ownership of it, used, 5 years ago. It's not a state-of-the-art system, but has been a dependable device for basics, and, until now, was attached to the web via ethernet cable. I decided to try to run it wireless and realized that although there are lots of wonderful machines with wifi or wifi cards installed, that the leap from ethernet to wifi is a challenge, depending on the vintage of the hardware, software, and so forth. I purchased a C. Crane Versa II Wifi USB adapter as it was priced competitively with various USP wifi adapters from many mainstream retail outlets and online vendors whose products are not Linux-friendly. To my surprise, I didn't need to use Wine and the Windows/Mac installation instructions and installation disc included with the adapter. I was able to go wifi after a few false starts (mainly to Ubuntu apps), and eliminating confusion in the configuration files. Apart from the slightly constrained speed of its CPU, this old desktop now works as flawlessly as a three-year old laptop I had screaming along with native wifi and Ubuntu Linux until its motherboard died a few months back. | I recently added a USB wifi adapter to an old desktop PC that has been running Ubuntu since I first scrapped its native WIndows 2000 system when I took ownership of it, used, 5 years ago.

Surely Canonical knows by now that not all users have stuck to Gnome as their Desktop of choice, and in fact hadn't done so long before Unity came along.
