Windows Who? I have to concur with Rob Gurr''s letter; Windows for me was XP, and when my motherboard died and I replaced it and found out the old MB was keyed to the Windows XP OS and the new MB would not work with XP, I decided it was time to go to Ubuntu. So I started with Ubuntu 6.06 and I am currently on 16.04.3 LTS and waiting for 18.04 LTS. That is almost 12 years using a Linux OS - and not using a Windows OS of any number for the same 12 years. John L. Hart Jr. Slim USB Stick I recently bought 3 Kingston Traveller USB3 sticks and they work fine until I want to use both at the same time. The USB3 slots on my machine are too close together or the USB sticks are too wide. I blame the USB sticks, many are made to look fancy without any consideration for practical use. I could buy a USB hub but shouldn't have to. Can anyone recommend a slim USB3 stick? Michael
Windows comment ?
Je suis complètement d'accord avec la lettre de Rob Gurr ; Windows pour moi signifiait XP et, à la mort de ma carte mère, je l'ai remplacée pour découvrir que la vieille carte mère était appareillée avec XP et que la nouvelle ne fonctionnait pas avec. J'ai donc décidé que le moment était venu de passer sous Ubuntu. Ayant commencé avec Ubuntu 6.06, je suis actuellement sous la 16.04.3 LTS en attendant la 18.04 LTS. Cela fait presque douze ans sous un système d'exploitation Linux sans utiliser un OS Windows de quelque nom que ce soit pendant les mêmes douze ans.

Une clé USB fine
Je viens d'acheter 3 clés USB3 Kinston Traveller et elles fonctionnent très bien jusqu'à ce que je veuille en utiliser deux à la fois. Soit les ports USB3 sur ma machine sont trop rapprochés, soit les clés USB sont trop large. Je blâme les clés USB, car beaucoup sont conçues pour leur élégance sans aucune considération pratique. Je pourrais acheter un hub USB, mais je ne devrais pas être obligé à le faire.

Outdated Info I have had several PCs set up with Ubuntu to experiment with over the years. Some years back, I started playing with one as a replacement for my router where I had found very specific directions for a basic configuration using WEBMIN that got me a start. Other responsibilities kept me from completing that experiment. I repurpose the PC that I experiment with often, and that base was lost. I want to rekindle that effort and have a desktop 16.04LTS system set up in a similar configuration to what I had before, but repeated GOOGLE searches return directions for configuration that appear too old to apply, are incomplete, or when listed for 16.04, appear incorrect because the listed directory locations for .conf files are not even close, nor do the contents of those default files even resemble the examples. It appears that software and OS updates have changed many things. It also appears that the old on-line information on completing this task is not updated, nor are recent on-line sources for help able to keep up. Do you know of a document that covers these uses that I may not have found? Will Full Circle cover this use at some point? Rhetorical question: How can one expect any product to achieve wide use and popularity with documentation that doesn't keep up with product changes or is completely non existent? John C. Lehmann Gord says: pfSense is vastly superior, so people have lost interest in trying to use Ubuntu as a router. pfSense is based on BSD, but that is not an issue; installation is simple and configuration is all done from within pfSense.
