Hello,
in gdm or kdm I think make numlock on by default is a very good thing


thanks

Ubuntu must have the best interface ever created. Let's make this our goal. An interesting interface define a good OS.

Stimulate mockups in the Ubuntu brainstorm

Hire some good designers

Innovate the Gnome's interface by creating new tools

There must be a reason to choose Ubuntu instead os windows and OSX. I live in Brazil, and i must say that Windows, for us, coast nothing because os the piracy. Beeing free is no reason to swith OS.

Availability os software is also a disvantage os linux.

So, we can only beat them in the creativity of our interface.

Sorry about the english.

You make the graphics and the theme designer tool would
do all the un-fun stuff with config files and the like.

I'm french and for most country it could be great if we can download different .iso files with all the specific packages for translation included.

Because if we don't have an internet connection, the system will not be completely translated.

It's a bad thing for most people.

So, please, create
ubuntu_x.xx_fr.iso
ubuntu_x.xx_en.iso
ubuntu_x.xx_sp.iso .../...

Ubuntu for human beings in each country ;)

(Sorry for my bad english)

Ubuntu has become arguably the most popular linux distribution. I think its time for Ubuntu developers to set aside some internal resources to push Ubuntu ahead of the pack.

We should form a dedicated team responsible for the development of "nex-gen" ideas. Currently most linux distros just mimic ideas found on Mac or Windows (compiz, menubars, themes, networking, etc.). There really aren't any "innovative" idea for linux, in the strictest sense of the term. Assemble a team that is dedicated to developing NEW ideas. I realize that Ubuntu would rather go the "tried and tested" route, but I think we should leave some room open for bleeding edge innovations (some of which can be found right here on brainstorm!)

It could even be made into a contest, where people could submit their own NEW ideas. Keep the Ubuntu circle in the cutting edge. Possibily a prize, recognition, etc.

I think that the Ubuntu Installer of the live CD should ask if the user want to install Grub or not. For example a couple of years ago, Red Hat provided that option. You could choose to install grub or if you didn't want to, you could copy an executable file in a floppy disk and when you boot your system with the floppy in the floppy drive, Linux started to run. If you boot the system without the floppy, Linux didn't start.

So, I think this could be very useful for users who use Ubuntu and Windows in dual boot but who don't want to touch the MBR.
The executable file (to make ubuntu boot) could be copied in a CD or a pen drive.

I'm sorry for mistakes and my bad english.

As we always do typing error, or remember too late something very important to add, why not allowing us to edit our own ideas, or comments ?
I don't think that it would make too much abuse... as every forum (at least good forums) allow it.

[EDIT] Sry useless, it's already possible...
