    Ubuntu 10.4b1 on Virtual PC

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu...ce/linux/+bug/510571<BR><BR>HAL is removed from this version of ubuntu. So that may be what is going on as well, if Virtual PC is freaking out. 10.04 works ok in latest version of virtualbox.

    What's the current state of Ubuntu 10.04?

    My grip is that core i5/i7 turbo boost does not work with the 2.6.32 kernel. You must roll your own 2.6.33 or later kernel...<BR><BR>It's a minor acpi thing that could probably be backported.<BR><BR><BR>HAL was removed for faster booting, among other stuff. Seems to boot a bit faster, but...

    DOIs and their discontents

    It's not just the articles. People are here for the discussions! Ars: be nice to all users - adblock or not. If a user makes an insightful post, that brings you web traffic, hits, money, etc. Leave a person's moral choices to themselves.

    Apple reconfigures Mac dev program, drops price to $99

    iPhone dev forums are worthless. Rarely any posts and you aren't missing anything. No responses or input from Apple employees or devs. Not sure about the internal OS X dev forum, but hopefully it's better! The iPhone dev $99 makes sense as you are registered to then make iPhone apps and sell...

    Hands-on: a close look at Ubuntu's new non-brown theme

    Brown gnome folders look bad with this new color scheme. Get rid of all of the brown, I say! :) Make the default Nautilus folders blue, and Nautilus grey. That with a purple background will make it look nice like this: http://imgur.com/Aymxd.jpg :P

    Mac guy buys an HP. Poor out of box experience

    That was the biggest mistake. :P I've never seen so much crap-ware, bloat, and other crap than on HP machines out of the box. If you buy the 'business' models of any brand (Dell, HP, etc) those tend to just have just Windows and no trialware. I often tell people to do that to avoid the mess...
