Hi guys!
packagekit gets more and more attraction, i don't think that i have to explain it here, someone who knows this page knows also packagekit and its possibilities i.e. share package discribtions & news, openoffice.org can use it for the installation from additional packages/art; automatic printer driver download from lsb-site and so on...

more here:
http://packagekit.org/
and a really hot presentation from fosdem08:

Unfortunately the needed pieces didn't come together for PackageKit in Intrepid. Hopefully they may be ready for Jaunty.

As default, the Ubuntu Gutsy release runs on the eeepc, but not verry good.

There are some Ubuntu-Lovers how build an script to make Ubuntu fully support the EEE PC. The script can be downloaded here:

Font Rendering

Written by rodrigo.messias the 28 Feb 08 at 17:30. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New

Every time I install Ubuntu, the first thing I have to modify is the font rendering. I use the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config" command for that.

The Ubuntu system would be more enhanced if it had more sofisticated fonts with a nice contrast.

Every operational system has an unique "look and feel" thing... Ubuntu must acquire its.

Include Compiz Fusion Manager by default

Developer comments

Sorry, but no. The stack has to mature. DRI2, drivers and default settings of compiz are the things that need attention. Adding and enabling "power-user"-features by default, which are only used by a fraction of the whole user-base, is an unnecessary introduction of UI-clutter we try to avoid.
