| | Well for a long time now I've been pretty bugged out by Ubuntu's "blurry" or "smooth" fonts that are so unlike MS's sharp fonts. So I looked up and finally found this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208396
It's a real quick and easy tutorial so for those who like MS fonts then check it out. |

There is an easier way to get those fonts installed and incidently a lot of other things too. Check out this link: http://www.getautomatix.com/There are deb packages for Dapper, Edgy and Feisty available and it will provide point and click installation for a host of programs and tools. CD/DVD burning software, IM clients, Open Office, mp3 codecs, video codecs, plug-ins for Firefox, even Photoshop and VMWare. There is a lot more. Using this I can have an Ubuntu box up and running functionally about 20 minutes from completion of the Ubuntu installation, and 95% of that is download time.

Windows Xp & Ubuntu’s Cold War

winners and losers. However, in today’s world another cold war is brewing, that cold war is

Using Unknown Fonts For Text In Webpage
(5) Example(Click) The concept behind this article came a few days ago when I was chatting in the
shoutbox here. I was thinking about whether we could include fonts (.ttf) on server and with the
help of some frameworks we could display text in browser. Unfortunately, after much chatting and
pleasing google (it just didn't show any mercy that day), I finally understood its not possible.
I actually wanted headings (h1, h2... you get it?) in a webpage to use a nice font which I have.
The problem is visitors won't have that font installed in thier system. The secon....

to have Ubuntu installed and a bluetooth USB or built in adapter but once you are set it is really

*buntu 8.04 Released
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu (10) The latest releases of Ubuntu , Kubuntu , Xubuntu and Edubuntu came out this afternoon. This
is a long term support (LTS) release, so should also be adopted by companies needing the security of
longer support. What is most important to me about this release is that the Kubuntu release is the
first to include the latest KDE4 desktop environment, along with a CD offering the older KDE 3. KDE4
looks incredible and brings a lot of advantages over the last release of KDE, and should encourage
more people to switch to Kubuntu.....
Ubuntu 7.10 Boot Issues
why does this happen? (5) hey trapsters, a few months ago, i reinstalled my laptop because i noticed it was getting
considerably laggy. i first installed xp, however i didn't have the time to install ubuntu as
well (dual boot) until around about a week ago. for some reason, however, my ubuntu 7.10 takes an
awfully long time to boot. firstly, after the splash (ubuntu logo and loading bar), the common unix
printing system (cupsd) takes about 30secs - 1min to load. then, once typing in my username and
password, ubuntu goes through this very strange process of desktop switching before i actuall....
Problems With Ubuntu 7.10
(4) As some of you may know, I took the dive towards Ubuntu on my main computer at home, an HP Pavilion
zd8000. I was reluctant before because I thought that Windows held most of my wanted programs
hostage, but after realizing that most of what I do (basic use, Internet, Photoshop, occasional
gaming) could be done with Linux, I decided to close my eyes and leap. And what a leap it has been.

and realizing that my Logitech MX3200 keyboard and mouse combo wouldn't work togethe....

Make Your Software Run Faster
If your software uses fonts (2) Every time you open Photoshop or Microsoft Word, it scans for all the fonts on your computer. That
can take a while, especially if you have 500 of them, like me. There are often many fonts installed
on a person’s computer, but the average computer user doesn’t need so many fonts. For example,
Microsoft Office 2003 installs a large collection of fonts, but in reality these fonts are just ugly
and not useful at all. The last time I used one of those fonts was 3 years ago, and that was on
someone else’s computer. And if you’re a web designer, you will have a very hard tim....

Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
linux operating system (47) About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

How Do I Switch From Gnome To Kde?

linux though ;_;... Well, I decided that the main reason I don't like to use it is that it
looks so alien, and I hate how GNOME looks. I hear that if I move to KDE I'll be sacrificing
some performance or whatnot. I have this really crazy linux zealot friend who preaches the linux
gospel to me, and will attempt to beat down any reason why I like Windows. I would ask ....
