Ubuntu Ultimate and Ubuntu 7.10
Why doesnt Ubuntu trash that name, and rename it something else...
I feel the name Ubuntu sounds very degrading for a reasonable OS.
Ubuntu, give me Ubuntu in Maputu
Give me Ubuntu with my phutu
Give me Ubuntu for mafutu
Give Ubuntu for Umlungo
Give Ubuntu for MS Gingluvo

wvdial needs a configuration file ( /etc/wvdial.conf ), below is mine:
To get the modem set up automatically is also easy...
Just go Terminal, sudo wvdialconf and it will set your modem options correctly
then all you have to do is (su for root access) to go Terminal sudo gedit - gedit will open, and then from there you can open your wvdial.conf file - edit your necessary values into there (tel number / username + password and then save and restart dialing works by going terminal type: sudo wvdial

Just in case anybody else gets it, the bug seems to only affect Clearlooks based themes.

Well first you need to get connected. The Way I connect is with Vodafone 3G E220 Usb.
to get connected with that you need to use "wvdial".
First off you need to open the terminal enter " sudo gedit " edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file to the following
once that is done, Make sure that your PC actually sees the device, It should pick it up as some removable storage device. Once you are sure that is working, check your wvconfig, by opening Terminal, type " sudo wvdialconf " if there is anything wrong you will be told. Also if it does not pick up the modem , unplug it and plug back in.
Then to get connected go to terminal and type
it should give you a couple of IP adresses. ( DNS and such) and there you are connected.
To disconnect press ( Ctrl + "C" ).

from what I recall of my Linux-gaming research, NWN2 has a native installer ready for download. I'll try find the site or a link and I'll post it here

ok, will check for NWN2 aswell. Sorry for the disappointment
*EDIT: Looks like I was wrong, I thought I read somewhere that NWN2 had a linux install client, seems its only NWN1. Looks like you'll have to run it under Wine.

this is going to be an extremely noob question
but i only jsut started reading up on linux and wanting to get involved.
just downloaded ubuntu 7.10 yesterday but before i install anything i want to know
2 things.
1.Can you dual boot Ubuntu 7.10 and Windows XP from the Same hdd (file format and all those formalities?)
2. Would you recomend it?
i know its a noob question cause i am really only just getting into it. Sorry for being off topic but rather stick it in here than create whole new thread.
