Hi Andrew it installs fine and it really works well. VMPlayer 3 allows you to create VM’s too and it seems less resource intensive than vbox

Sorry been a bit busy installing and re-installing my laptop. Cant seem to get my nvidia drivers to pick up its a laptop and i have a adhoc external driver. The Ubuntu forums dont seem to have answers either. I have been playing with VMware Players and must say it beats Virtual Box hands down. Light weight free and also very intergrated
VMWare player is just that – a player, it doesn’t let you create. whereas VirtualBox is full on desktop virtualization product.
VMware player last time I checked was a bigger download than VirtualBox, so not lightweight at all IMHO. but I am interested to know what you meant by lightweight, and by and integrated.
Hope to here more.

Hehe I was also testing it. I love the server addition but was worried that there was no upgrade path. I also installed the Desktop but it seem to have a mind of his own

@admin Um i c we using Gravitar for our avatars but it says that I have to use the email I registered with. That email does not work anymore so i changed my profile. Will this effect my Gravitar registration
It shouldn’t .. but you never know. I am having some problems with the avatars at the moment. A few people have had problems. I am looking into it so please bear with me.

@admin We should keep the guides nice and simple. Kinda how to install and run a without having to alter to much stuff.
Addon Guide should be maintained regularly as some applications come and go. Just need to also make sure we give people the best options without having to install everything. Like @zerigi gave his suggestions with descriptions is the way we should maybe for the guides
@zerigi Hey ill have a look at the applications as that would be really handy in the future for me personally too. im still a FOSS noobie and loving it. -
@admin is there any change we can get a edit option if we have submitted a message. I kinda forgot to mention @andrew on my previous message and I cant find the edit button.

This is great Andrew and like i said I know there is hordes of how to on the web but I believe if anyone wants to get into linux they would stop of here first. Most of the how to documents as I learned my first time around FOSS is that they install almost every application under the sun twice. Why would a person using windows want 6 browsers 10 mp3 players and 5 chat application. I agree with you fully. A simple how to from scratch with a cd or dvd and then a addons one with codecs, media , etc. something simple to make our favourite distro work with out the box applications and do anything a M$ can. I found this site looking for other FOSS users that I could get info from on how to do thing easier in my distro and so far i have gotten a nice kids distro from you for my 2 year old to play with and my son has realy taken to Ubuntu. He asked me today to put it back on his machine.

Im keen we just need to choose if we gonna make it a ubuntu guide or other flavour. We could also start with a ubuntu guide and let the other guys with other flavours maybe do post to do same thing for other flavours. Im all for collaboration
I’ll do an openSUSE guide. I think we should have 2 parts. a) initial install and b) addons like flash, mp3, etc.
… although for (a) there are lots of install howto’s, opensuse site has one too.Note: will refer to en.opensuse.org many times in the guide.
What else/different should be in it?
@Morgan, two things I really like for Ubuntu are ”AptonCD (included by default in Linux Mint) and Remastersys
AptonCD takes the cache of .deb files you have downloaded via synaptic/aptitude and creates a ”software disk” that you can insert in any other Ubuntu box to update/add to its software
Remastersys allows you to create an installable liveDVD from your existing Ubuntu installtion — ie it has all the apps you’ve added already included.This is great Andrew and like i said I know there is hordes of how to on the web but I believe if anyone wants to get into linux they would stop of here first.

Hi guys I was wondering when I started out with ubuntu a while back there was one thing that really bugged me a lot. The hordes of documents on the web about setting up a ubuntu desktop. http://howtoforge.com has documents on every distro every version about how to setup the perfect ***insertFOSSnamehere*** desktop. But most are just copies of the first one and most install major amount of software that is un needed or non relative to any user. I must say I have found a guide to setup that I use but again i mod it as I feel free.
I have not seen any guides here and was wondering if we could maybe start looking into it hard as most first time users will stumble on this site for answers?
btw i use this one as its neat and clean I leave amarok and vnc out as i try to use the defaults more

I agree but most of the retail games ie: World of Warcraft, Counter Strike and many others all great games should really try and make games easier to run on linux.
