By the way, the complete Ubuntu repository is available on DVD. Windows Land is too full of secrets and paranoia to ever get together and have something like this.

{There was a download for them but after trying unsuccessfully for 3 days personally declared them impossible and got them here:

Wow…some guy asking for Win Vista advice in a Xubuntu forum. Must be desparate…LOL!

“Yes, sir. The advice would be…download & burn the Xubuntu LiveCD, run it, choose to install it, and when the partition editor comes up, have it overwrite the partition you have Windows installed on. That will take care of ALL of your Vista problems…”

As a novice I appreciate your willingness to build these tutorials for the rest of us.

However, do you have any advice on the following error:
Kernel Panic – Not syncing – io-apic + timer doesn’t work!

This is a newly constructed AMD x2 Windsor that currently has Vista installed.

Any advice you could offer would be appreciated. Thanks.

“Proposed and backported I haven’t been using, mainly because I’m not 100% on what they are for.”

Proposed is for updates to packages in the repositories that need QA testing. If you’d like to help test new revisions before they’re officially released to the updates repo, use the proposed repository.

Backported is for new releases of programs from the latest version of (Ku|Xu|U)buntu that aren’t otherwise in the repositories. I’d personally recommend them, but it’s up to you.

Some of the might be in main by now, I’m not sure but on edgy (Gnome) I do:

sudo apt-get install mpg123 beagle gkrellm lifearea tilda gnomebaker soundconverter htop glipper

mpg123 – Sound Previews In Nautilus
beagle – Desktop Search
gkrellm – Spiffy System Monitor
lifearea – Feed Reader
tilda – Drop Down Terminal
gnomebaker – Cd Burning
soundconverter – Convert Music to OGG/MP3
htop – A Text Based Process Manager, much better than plain top
glipper – Clipboard Manager
