the title says it all

I think this is an important feature missing in ubuntu now that ubuntu i offered by dell as an alternative to windows.

Macosx and also windows Vista already have these features installed in their latest operating systems and it is important for users to control the access of their children to offensive adult websites which could be somewhat harmfull as well.

The i386 ISOs do not have anything to do with Intel or the 386 cpus specifically just as the amd64 are not specific to AMD processors. Additionally these descriptors are practically meaningless to non-techies.

What matters for the decision between the ISOs is the difference between 32bit and 64bit, not intel and amd, so why not just call them that way, and thus take away the burden of having to be a cpu technician to understand them?

EDIT: As a compromise, to avoid confusion of the x86/IA ISOs with those for other architectures, descriptors like PC32bit and PC64bit might also be acceptable as that is likely the maximum a home user knows about his or her computer.

cdroms are slow, don't allow to modify their content easily, they are weak and not as easy to carry as USB keys.

It would be great to provide Ubuntu as a liveUSB just as Mandriva does. We should be able to carry our distribution on any computer, manage our preferred settings (do I want binary drivers enabled ? what is my preferred resolution ?), etc.

The thing is not to make something transportable, but really a nomad system that could be used just the best way as it could on any computer.

Hi! I ask to include the plugin "IE Tab" in Firefox 3 in Ubuntu 8.10.

https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/1419

Reason? IE is a bad web explorer, but our politicians do not know it. Why? because in my case, in Spain, the Public Administration ONLY work in Internet Explorer, when I want to watch my personal information in the University, I need IE, when I have to send information (form) by the website of the ministry of X (jod, culture, education, industry...), I need IE!!! oh my good!! WHY??? WTF!!! Firefox doesn't work well, o directly, doesn't work.

If we want that everybody (at less in Spain) install Ubuntu in their PC, and they can work well, we need this (a lot of people don't know that this plugin exist!!).

This would reduce confusion. I didn't even think Ubuntu had a key combo for that menu for the longest time. Turns out it's alt+F1. Two keys? Having to span the keyboard with your hand? Fail.

This idea isn't 'windows-like' or 'mac-like'; it's behavior expected from every 'human being' that's used a computer via the keyboard before.

If you have a really good reason to be different, do so. As far as I'm aware, not using super for the Apps menu does not.

...and if you're using super as a modifier, you will have pressed another key before letting up on it. That would be the only potentially sensible opposition I can think of for this. All the people that use alt+F1 now will be grateful, once they figure it out.

This should only apply if the logged in user has an entry in sudoers..

If I try to create a new folder, and I don't have access it should prompt me for my password (gksudo), and preform the action. This should occur for copy/paste, and all sorts of other functions that instead we have to drop to the shell..

I mainly 'sudo nautilus .' when I need to do this, but its a little clunky, don't you agree?

Yeah we all know amarok already does this effectively (though sometimes buggy under gnome) and we also have gtk-pod which I personally dont like. I think we should have our own dedicated Ipod media player "Utunes" as so many people have I pods and want to use them just as they do on windows/mac. Recently novell did a survey of what linux users most wanted ported. Itunes came in the top ten.

Apple should have already ported Itunes to linux and that annoys me as they rip off konquror and call it safari but they cant even be bothered to support the ipod on linux!

Pidgin with Webcam support and Skype and Ekiga. I am well aware this is going to be difficult

There is a need for a dead easy website creation program.


Nowadays everyone has to have his or her own website, but only few people are willing to learn to code to get one. On the forums, people ask for a program to build websites without the need for a brain.

There should be a template driven website builder with the possibility to easily add a blog page, photo gallery, downloads page, contact forms, automatically build menu.... without having to know a single line of html, css, JavaScript or php.

It should have the basic features to build a website and only these basic features. There are other (great) alternatives for more advanced web designers, but this could be useful for them too 'cause it's so easy and fast to add stuff to the website.

The way I see it, people would be able to make templates and upload them to the project's site. There could be competitions for the templates included in the program itself,... but I'm thinking to far now.

As far as I know, Windows doesn't have this either. So this could be a huge advantage for Ubuntu and Linux in general.
I don't like comparing, but for OSX there's the popular Rapidweaver ( http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ ) that does want I just described.

For the record, I do know that this isn't really an Ubuntu issue. But still... it's an idea, right?

Thanks for reading!
