The world clock in Ubuntu seems to be behind times little bit.
It shows the city Mumbai by the name of Bombay. Bombay got renamed in 1999. So as you can see the Clock isn't lagging by much!
Also many Indian cities haven't had their names updated. These names were changed even before Ubuntu began.
Tere are many other important world cities whose names havent been updated. Plz do it since it doesnt create a good impression about Ubuntu. It is throurghly unprofessional!

With dell's new netbook due to come out soon, it is extremely important for the growth of linux that they provide honest information about it. They shouldn't say something like:
"The linux option is cheaper than the xp option. However, it can not run most commercial programs" After reading that, why would anybody choose it? It should say something along the lines of:
"Linux is an open source alternative to Windows. This means it is completely free for anybody to use it in any way. It can do almost anything that you can do with windows. It cannot run windows software, but there are many free alternatives that do the same thing included with it. It comes with a word processor (That can handle .doc), a web browser, an email application, and many other utilities. It is also very easy to install new software, without the risk of viruses. In fact, there are virtually no viruses that can harm linux..."

This explanation is fairly unbiased, and all true, and provides a much more pleasing alternative. However, dell will not do write such a description because of the pressure of microsoft. We need to push dell to write the truth if linux is ever going to be common among everyday users.

I read some where that the shut down menu will be changed in Ibex. Plz don't do that. The current one is one of the best looking one. They will replace it with one pland "error message type" box with 3 options.
Plz stop them!!!

Earlier this year when I tried to install Hardy with wubi it gave an error saying 'atleast 256 MB required for the installer'. Now my PC has 256 MB so, this error seemed fishy.This will keep away new users of Ubuntu who wanted to try Ubuntu because of Wubi.
Wubi can run on less than 256MB Ram so remove the check. If I didn't have internet I wouldn't have been able to use Ubuntu.
To run Wubi on less than 256MB RAM do this:
