I think this is interesting. KDE and GNOME making a replacement for dropbox? http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/gnome-and-kde-might-collaborate-into.html
What does this mean for UbuntuOne I wonder.

I tried KDE for windows, I mainly wanted to see the new build of Amarok because for some reason I can’t get any ppas to work with my Kubuntu and I was rather dissapointed. It is either very slow or does not play music (this is for amarok) and installing amarok was kinda weird. I [...]

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.
A/.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

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

I’m sure we have a word or two to say about localised versions of some packages and ZA-language spell checkers, etc.

I think there should definitely be a section on setting up local-infrastructure connections. Most of the content could be generic and then add in sections for SA-specific things. Perhaps a small section from Translate.org.za?

Are you planning to keep it as general as possible, or would there be some focus on South Africa? If there is a South African focus I would suggest adding instructions for common setup tasks such as internet via Vodacom/MTN/whatever 3G.

@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. -
