      Ouch, it’s the massive updates that put me off testing Lucid. Hope your bandwidth is up to it :-)

    testing Ubuntu Lucid Lynx alpha release on my AspireOne netbook
    love the lightweight enlightenment libraries used for netbook-2D sessions.
    don’t love the way I have to log in twice @ GDM.

    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.

    In reply to - Morgan posted an update: 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 · View

    Hmm, don’t know about ubuntu. I know of some that have used SLES or OpenSUSE.
    if you’re thinking of ‘buntu, check out http://www.ebox-platform.com . “e-box” will let you have centralized logins, etc. aka domain control. it uses LDAP for auth. aimed at SME.

  • Andrew wrote a new blog post: Client side email archiving
    For people used to MS Outlook, archiving your mail is a normal procedure. You probably set it to auto-archive certain folders too.
    Archiving in this sense, means moving mails into another message store (PST file). If connected to an exchange/IMAP server, this would result in your messages being removed from the server and kept on your [...]

    Email archiving: what Linux client-side solutions are there. e.g for Thunderbird or Evolution.?
    (and not just “leave a copy on gmail”)
    is archiving relevant?
