Hi Lee,
The output from aptitude doesn't show anything about wanting to install apache.
I can't think of a reason update-manager would want to install apache, in that
case. Perhaps there's a bug in update-manager, and you should file it at
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager

I'd like to stress here before anyone gets the idea that Ubuntu made the decision to drop Geforce4 MX, that the problem lies with nVidia, their binary drivers, and them not releasing updates for their binary driver, leading to it being incompatible with the new X server that Ubuntu uses. I believe this happens almost every cycle with the -96 legacy drivers. I'm not about to post in that thread, because it has degenerated into a flame war of whether or not hardware/software vendors should support old hardware.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
n, I'd like to stress that Lubuntu shares Ubuntu's archives, and uploads are made in source code form, and built *automatically* on buildds for at least i386 and amd64 architectures (lpia is also included in PPAs, and several other architectures are also built for, but not all of them succeed all the time). This is not a "branch" out, it is already there. In fact, if you're writing code that can't be compiled on amd64 but can be compiled on i386, then you're usually doing something wrong somewhere in the first place. Something stupid like casting pointers into integers and back. (Hey, I saw that kind of stupidity in the source code of nachos, a small OS simulator made for educational purposes.) In a nutshell: If your CPU does 64-bit, then go 64-bit. But don't expect any great leaps in performance. Any gain in performance is likely to be small for anything that's not CPU-intensive. The only drawbacks you might get from 64-bit Lubuntu is.. say.. Adobe Flash, and Skype. But these two are really easy to install these days, since there's the flashplugin-installer package in the archive, and skype in Canonical's partner repository. And mind, these are both proprietary software. So much for 100% 64-bit being unachievable for a free OS. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
