Full Circle Issue 7: My Desktop

I am brand new to Linux. My first and only attempt so far has been with Ubuntu. I am very satisfied with my choice. I think that desktop modifications are easy to preform by a new Linux user, too. The flavor I use is Ubuntu Studio. (You can get it from the repositories. For instructions visit www.ubuntustudio.org) The icon package, Dropline Neu, is available from art.gnome.org You can download the mouse theme from www.gnome-look.org Search for Fedora Core 6 Cursors. Atilla Solymossy My desktop customization uses only what is available by default in Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). Here is how you may do it for yourself: Enable transparency fo...

Written by Robert Clipsham Since I upgraded to the Gutsy Gibbon I have only been able to access websites by using their IP addresses, and anything else Internet related won't work - why is this? A There are several simple ways to solve this. The easiest one is just to disable ipv6, which can be done by doing 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' in a terminal (kdesu kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in KDE), then adding 'blacklist ipv6' to the end of the file. Restart your PC and ipv6 will be disabled. Look at the link below to find other ways to solve this. https://help.ubuntu.com/...

I made this pumpkin by printing out the Ubuntu logo and taping it to the pumpkin. I used one of those pokers that come in pumpkin carving kits to poke holes in the pumpkin along the lines where I had to cut, then I just cut along the lines. I decided to make the Ubuntu pumpkin, because I wanted to do something different from the standard "scary" pumpkin. Not a lot of people saw the pumpkin, but someone said that the only person that would think it was scary would be Bill Gates. LinuxLoop www.linuxloop.com

Written by Matthew Rossi I'm Matthew Rossi, host of the Full Circle Podcast , and here are my picks for the big stories in the Ubuntu world. This month, I will be rounding up the events at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. The full articles can be found at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/taxonomy/term/13. Some of the highlights for me in The Fridge wrap up were: Automatix and Ubuntu collaboration. Hold on, how can you collaborate with Automatix which is known to be a bad boy in the Ubuntu world? Changes to the logout dialog. I don't have any problems with the current dialog myself. It's just like how people whined abo...

Written by Andrew from www.TeensOnLinux.org So you've installed the latest version of Ubuntu, you've got your wicked awesome Compiz Fusion effects set up — now what? I asked the same question about a year ago when I started with Kubuntu 6.06. So here are a few things I came up with to keep you from getting bored. 1. Explore the file system Trust me, you can learn a lot this way. Here's what you do: open your file manager and press the “up one directory” button twice. This should take you to the top level of your installation. You'll see a bunch of directories like /usr, /proc, and /home. Look through them and f...

My Story: from Windows to Ubuntu

I am not the kind of person who feels a sense of pride in Microsoft bashing. I respect Microsoft as they put in a lot of effort in order to make a stable operating system which they update regularly with service packs and fixes. For this reason I used windows for about three or four years. But then I heard from a friend, that there is an OS named Ubuntu that is shipped free of cost with no postal charges. So, I decided to give it a try. When I started using Ubuntu, I learned over time that Ubunt

Written by Deepank Gupta I was a bit apprehensive before installing Ubuntu as I had heard a lot of worrisome stories about Linux in general and how it requires special computer knowledge to install it. But when I put in Ubuntu Live CD, my fears were dispelled. To my amazement I found that it can run from a Live CD without installation, allowing me to preview all the features of the operating system. Then I worked up the courage to partition my hard disk and dual boot with Windows (I still wanted to cling onto Windows). Although the installation was easy, the games were fun to play and all my hardware was detected properly, I had a setback...

Interview: Amy De Groff from the Howard County Library

In 2004, the Howard County Library made news when they switched 300 of their public computers from Windows to an in-house Linux solution. Recently, they upgraded the computers to a version of Ubuntu distributed by Groovix. We talk to Amy de Groff, Head of IT for the library.

Interview: Amy De Groff from the Howard County Library

Written by Ian McIntosh Before switching to Linux, what software was the library using? They were running Windows NT. A former IT person had shut down a great deal of the functions, access, etc. How did the library first get interested in Linux? What aspects of Linux were attractive? We got interested in Linux because two of our IT guys (former Unix administrators) were big fans. What we liked about it was the ease of management from a remote location (we have 6 branches and, at that point, two IT guys managing the machines) and the ability to strip off functions, applications, and services that we did not want. The financial aspect was a...

Poll results: what is your favorite email client/communication suite?

Written by Ronnie Tucker http://url.fullcirclemagazine.org/67eefc I like the simplicity of thunderbird too, but what really got me is the spam filter, it is the best in the world. Why? Because you tell it what is spam and what is not spam. amoser I definitely prefer Thunderbird. I used Kmail for a long time prior to that, until I discovered the junk mail controls in Thunderbird. That and it's simple to setup/use. cabu Evolution because: I can backup my mail to a .pst type file (unlike Thunderbird), it looks pretty (much better than the old Evolution under Red Hat 9), I can download mail & still keep it on my email ...

Review: Wubi Installer 7.10

Are you reading this magazine because you're interested in Ubuntu and Linux in general? Are you running some form of Windows and want to try something new? Does thinking about installing something as huge as a new operating system make your knees quiver and your brow bead with sweat? What I say to you is: Never fear -- Wubi is here!

Wubi allows to easily install Ubuntu from Microsoft Windows

Written by Jason Pratt From the official website www.wubi-installer.org “Wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other application.

Wubi itself is comprised of a single executable file so you can run it from anywhere, hard drive, flash drive, external HDD, floppy (Well, let's not exaggerate)... you get the picture? It has a clean, minimalistic in...
