have ever made on computer or computer equipmet. Just abou ...

card (and I should have a keyboard somewhere) and some flavour of SunOS
installed.

dist-upgrade decides I'm using Gnome from now on!
Fri, 8 Aug 2008 09:44:31 +0000 (UTC)
Interesting package update that one yesterday!
My Kubuntu 8.04.1 had some packages updated via the usual aptitude dist-

desktop gui?
Any poi ...

These two seem to have some interaction issues:
Under some circumstances - I haven't figured out, all the mod ...

Hi:
I'd like to completely clear out my /tmp folder, which has grown too

TIA
