I don't advocate "Linux". I advocate the attitude 'it' has towards community and development; open source software, and in a wider sense, socialism. I believe that a community driven by a love of...
I'm about to unsubscribe from this thread, as I feel I've become too involved with the Free Software community. Once you've grown to love a community, which is a core of real people, who talk to you,...

Adding a handler for /blog in cherrypy, to stop people 404ing on old links. That section of the code's quite...
I'd be worried if you weren't allowed to sign it... Very worried.
The ubuntu-website product on Launchpad.
No; that's the issue: build-essential isn't required to run GCC. Only the package "gcc" is. I guess there could be some kind of info given, but atm it only (as far as I recall) advises you install...
Well, yes. But it should be trivial to have Nautilus create a gconf cache when a file is moved to .Trash which specifies where it came from. It could then use this to restore the file when necessary.
Indeed. The system should not *need* disk space purely to login. In theory, temp files should be created in /tmp (which should be a tmpfs in RAM). In practice, this does not always happen, and when a...
That is how it currently works, yes.
PriceChild, it's not as much a niche as you might think; and APTonCD is kinda a one-time jobbie. A cron job in the datacentre would be better; but the possibility of that all depends on the server...
How do we select the most popular packages? Does everyone use the "popularity-contest" utility? I would prefer a simple apt-mirror of the full Ubuntu repositories (which I have heard amounts to about...
It's very, very difficult to know which files should have which permissions, and I'm unsure how OS X accomplishes it. Many services install their own users and groups, and their files are owned by...
aysiu, you say "If someone is trying to compile something from source, she should get some kind of message that build-essential is required and that the metapackage can be installed off the CD"....
In these cases, Ubiquity would not function. The alternate CD, which provides for this use case, installs packages rather than copy over the currently running system, which Ubiquity does. We don't...
This spec has been around for a while, and Launchpad claims it is implemented: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mount-all-local-filesystems

Woot! So how did it go?
You wiped the HD without reinstalling Ubuntu? :'(
where?
Yes. Indeed. And I'm very pro-VirtualBox (and, to be explicit, note that when I have virtualising to do, that's what I use, following SVN development). However, it's not in the repositories; whereas...
I'm pushing quite hard on a number of fronts. My main text for complaints, letters, etc, is found on my blog:...
Look in my signature: "We are lost until loss; blind until blinded". I just thought it up one day. It describes how, without losing something, we don't know how much it was worth. Without...
Qemu with KQemu, although harder to set up, is also a good Free alternative.
I suggest she learn to live with it. Sorry. Admittedly, that wasn't very helpful. However, I'm sure that she'd soon adapt (especially if she were to be using Ubuntu, say), and enjoy doing so.
I haven't read the whole thread, so excuse me if this has already been said. However, I'd like to point out that free software development is not a democracy (in reference to "true free software is a...
