Home Server
Would it be possible for someone out there to write an article(s) on setting up a home server? It should be running Ubuntu (of course), machines will do a network boot, data would be available on the server and the Internet will be too. Something that would be cheap, feasible and useful.

Ubuntu Is Too Hot!
My Dell Vostro 1550 laptop dual boots with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows 7 running side by side. I am a huge fan of Ubuntu, who tries to get things done in Ubuntu alone, and I always try to convince other people to switch to Ubuntu. But I am afraid of the overheating problem in Ubuntu systems.
When I am working in Ubuntu, my laptop overheats quickly and seldom cools down to normal state, and the processor fans run almost all the time to cool down the processor. Besides the noise from the fan, the battery drains quickly due to the same reason. When compared to PC running in Windows 7, the battery drains out quickly when it runs in Ubuntu.
I wish someone could write an article on solutions for this problem. Which may help me in making more Ubuntu fans

Scanning
Gord, regarding your checklist for checking new distros. You could add scanning. This was the one problem that prevented me from ditching Windows until Ubuntu 11.04 came along and solved my problem.

Chinese in LibreOffice
A few days ago a friend asked about writing Japanese in LibreOffice. I pointed him to the article in FCM#43 (Command & Conquer by Lucas Westermann). He came back saying that it didn't work. Testing, I found that all I could get was a row of rectangles.
Like the author of this piece I found:
“Although Japanese entry worked perfectly on everything else, LO refused to show any Japanese characters (just empty/blank boxes) even though I had set the default Asian language to Japanese and checked the Asian languages option.”
The author had a solution:
“Turns out there’s another set of options under Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Basic Fonts (Asian). Switching the font to Droid Sans Japanese solved the problem.”
Although I haven't tried it (yet) the same method will probably work for Chinese and Korean (using Pinyin and ?Hangul).
