Hei i read your comparison on this side:

http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome

You know that you compare Unity and kde, not gnome and kde?

gnome ist this: gnome.org

Unity is also based on gtk but its not THE gnome GUI.

Well first of all hello and well-done for your tutorials..They help plenty of people (not me however as i don’t use ubuntu:P)

I just want to say someting about your article “KDE vs Gnome”…well,actually someone would expect a comparison between KDE4 and Gnome3..however what you show is not Gnome3..It’s Unity!So better change the title..That’s all..
Keep up with the good work!!;)

Making a bootable USB of Ubuntu!
———————————
Will it work like the Live CD or can I use it as an ordinary Ubuntu installation?

Probably not, Mike. I think someone once told me you can remove [i]libc6[/i], and that’ll pretty much take care of anything graphical. If not, you can also try removing [i]xorg[/i].

Thanks for the post on Getting Back to a Pure KDE on Ubuntu.

Would you consider another entry that is for getting back to Pure Command Line Server Ubuntu?

Hi,
I am sorta new to Ubuntu so I enjoyed reading your comments. especially about installing programs. I haven’t had much trouble installing using the internet on ubuntu 11.10.AMD64. (This is installed on a Compaq CQ57 laptop) however, for the life of me, I can’t install from a CD. Have you tried installing a program from a CD without being connected to the internet? I was wandering if you or anyone else has tried this. As to wheather or not it needs to be connnected to the internet I don’t remember you commenting about.
Thanks,
Glenn

I was looking at your “KDE and Gnome Comparison” (at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome) and I would like to point out that you have actually compared KDE with Unity, not Gnome. Unity itself is built of of Qt (commonly associated with KDE) and uses many gnome services. Although the default Ubuntu applications are mostly (if not all) gtk+, which is the widget tool-kit of the Gnome desktop that does not make it gnome. Ubuntu used to run a Gnome desktop but that has been replaced with Unity in releases since 11.10.

I think you should make this clear in your comparison as to not mislead people.

Sorry, but the editor just swallowed the control characters…

So I give it a second try by masking it:

it should read:
by simply hitting ‘CTRL-ALT-F2′ and enter ‘root’ as user ..

and the second sequence:
you can just return to the GUI by ‘CTRL-ALT-F7′
