Re: [SLUG] XF86Calculator
Yeah XFCE is great but don't expect GUI network share file browsing (at least last time I used it) I use it on MythBuntu and it's great cos it's just so light but lacking in some features. - Show quoted text - On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 3:37 PM, Steven McDonald stevenmcdonald1...@gmail.com wrote: Have you tried Xfce? I've been using it for a few months now, and GNOME seems kind of bloated by comparison. If you're getting frustrated with GNOME, it might be worth checking out. For instance, the key bindings are in Applications - Settings - Keyboard, where one might expect them to be.

Re: [SLUG] Oh I hate Shredder
Really? That's interesting. It's no longer there in my 3.0.4 (on OS X) nor my wife's (Win 7). We are talking about the reading pane aren't we? In the main UI. Whether you're using tabbed reading or not.

[SLUG] Telstra USB wireless internet
Hi all, I'm fixing a pc for someone. Their MS windows got horribly virus infected after being on the internet for a short while with their new Telstra USB wireless stick. I'm thinking of loading some Linux distro but if the Telstra USB wireless has no drivers etc. then there is no point really and they will want internet back so that would mean windows again. Before I go loading Linux, anyone have any experience with a Telstra USB wireless dongle... no cable or adsl... it's just a USB stick... working with Linux? Thanks.

Re: [SLUG] Telstra USB wireless internet
Got it working on Karmic no major problems. Apparently it's even easier on Lucid, just plug and play.

Re: [SLUG] Telstra USB wireless internet
Hi; I used to use modeswitching, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1147685; however this failed to work. I have however, had to connect to the Telstra USB and disable the Virtual cdrom drive now, and it works almost flawlessly.
