Hi All, I have been using Dell Insipiron 510m since last 2-1/2 year and now its dead. I am planning to buy another laptop, but this time I am looking out for...
We got my wife an HP about a year and a half ago, then switched her back to Dell because of their superior support. HP's warranty was supposed to be quick turn...

I think the 24th they start, but it will be a limited selection. I get the feeling they may try to kill the program off like they did last time by making it...

Does Ubuntu have rpm (for managing software installations)? ... -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema....
... Ken, are you asking whether Ubuntu uses rpm as its primary software management tool, or whether it's possible to use rpm? Ubuntu being a Debian relative...
I have Ubuntu on my laptop and I am trying to install Seamonkey formerly Mozilla I found a Linux package on the Mozilla web site but when I try to install it...
... Thanks much, Douglas. It sounds like .deb packages are what I'd have to use. I suppose that's okay. Though I ran a debian system a long time ago, I've...
... Wow, Ken. You've asked a lot of questions here. I'm using an i8600. With Slackware I had to do a lot of gymnastics to get things working, and some never...

... Actually, what you have done is not really related to what I was discussing. Also, Xubuntu is a bit of a different beast. In straight Ubuntu, one doesn't...
Ken and Doug, Using apt is much easier and more reliable than using rpm. Trust me, I used rpm and Red Hat for decades. When I switched to Ubuntu last year, I...
