kubuntu-users Digest, Vol 50, Issue 79

[prush at my.devry.edu]

Hello Kubuntu users:


I ordered a kubuntu 8.10 from amazon for a couple of 2004 E-series
CPUs ripe-clean I got from DeVry because they upgraded some computer
rooms.  


One I has the Kubuntu in it, and the other I
was going to turn
into a NAS and plug some external hard drives to it.  But I was
thinking
it might be easier to get the Ubuntu server version for the other CPU. 
Right now I have them side-by-side, and my plan was to plug both into
my
wireless belkin router on my desk since they are not too wide.  But I
was
also thinking of connecting the extra one to my TV and attaching a
wireless receiver to it
instead or running a long Ethernet cord across my bedroom to my
router.  Opinions on preferred network topology in this scenario? I've
attached my idea from Visio. 
Also I finally figured out how to get rid of the Open Office
2.4 and put the 3.0 in there, but I didn’t like the GUI’s and it worked better
in the terminal.  So, I prefer advice that way for my updating question. 




I tried adding the deb url software updates for Ooo3 and I
got broken links?  Is this a known problem?  I had to download the
Ooo3 version off their website to get it to work right. 


Update questions?



My system says it’s 4.1KDE.  Am I suppose the update
that?   Sudo ??? I'm currently downloading the jaunty-alternate-i386.iso so I can test the DVD rom and make sure I can burn. Is that the right one for my purpose? Something is wrong with my Vista Laptop and it will not play DVD or CD's anymore.  


Once I figure out how to do Twilight Hack for the Wii, I
would also like to add that to my network, so  I need to figure out some
things. 

 



One Kubuntu CPUOne Empty CPU – server?

One Vista laptop 

One wannabe hacked Wii

 



I want the Kubuntu CPU to be the head honcho. 




Should I just wait for 9.04 to be stable before doing too much
customizing or is that upgradeable? I really don't mind putting it in now if it will be easier to upgrade apps and builds as I go. 


Where are software sources for Kubuntu?  I only got
mediubuntu so far.  And the one with Ooo didn’t work right, so, are their
others?

 

Thanks

Twitter.com/philenaI tried to send a drawing of my topology but it wouldn't take.
