Thank you for the information about Access, that's the problem which is very importent for me too. Just in fresh Karmic OOBase doesn't open Access 2007 files (but .DOCX and .XLSX filetypes in OpenOffice is OK - it's great, I can't keep silence about that). I believe that I'll find some decisions later because I'm only getting started with Ubuntu now . To Glen Isham.

One comment, somewhat related to the "iTunes in Ubuntu" article. I'm a sysadmin in an entirely Windows environment. There are certain tools that I use for work (and occasionally for personal use) that just will not run in Linux, and for which there are no (as of yet) suitable alternatives on the FOSS side. Primarily I'm speaking of Access, Visio, and personnaly, Income Tax software, although there are a few others. (Yes I've tried Kivio and OOBase, but they just don't cut the mustard). I used to Dual-boot, but as you stated, this very quickly becomes tiresome. Now I run Win7 in a VirtualBox VM, and keep the VM open on one side of the Cube. I do the majority of my work/play in Karmic, but when I NEED to use one my Windows apps, I just spin the cube around and there it is, no muss, no fuss. Just a suggestion for those folks who unfortunately have to use Win apps on occasion. Again, great tutorials. Your site is now bookmarked. Good tutorials.

I can't even believe that. No more wars, two DE's in one place, just log out and you are welcome. Tutorial is MUST HAVE = it's about multimedia and visul styles, not about commands and physical things. Why? Because when I am satisfacted by the appearance and music, radio, Internet TV around me I CAN LEARN COMMANdS IN THAT * NICE WHITE-COLORED TERMINAL. And work: spreasheets, bases, business - when my computer in the pair with Ubuntu is well MULTIEDIA-ARMORED. Thanks or ubuntu-desktop on Kubuntu.

I saw this link posted on a forum: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword It reminded me of the time I got into my mates laptop and left a text file on his desktop informing him that he had been hacked, he wouldn't shut up about how safe linux was. I had to. But it started my passion for Linux. Thank you. Hi, I just want to say cheers for being the start of my Linux journey.

My second reason for posting this was to let you know I would like to create a mirror of your site at www.ubuntutor.info, unless you have any objections to this? (It would be an exact replica.) At the moment my site is empty and going to waste. I intend to write some of my own articles aimed at beginners to Ubuntu, when I finally get round to it.....

Ram Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:08:25 +0000 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/?page_id=86#comment-8250 Dear Author Your wonderful write up on the Ubuntu PSW recovery article is very useful. However, I have problems in recovering my psw after many tries. I got to the second screen but when the system console prompted for entering my password which is nr and I entered passwd nr and the system said login incorrect. I tried your method ls/home (lower case L and S), it still gave the same error. My system has GRUB Version 1.97~beta 4. can you place help me? Thanks Ram Dear Author
