Firefox - default browser

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:29:03 +0200

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone tried to make firefox a default browser under Kubuntu. I went to system settings and i changed it. Also i changed files associations so firefox comes first, i checked options in firefox to check if its default browser, as well as i went to about:config. After all those changes everytime i click any link (eg. thunderbird or gaim), it opens konqueror. Is there anyway of going around it?

Thanks

Ubuntu Lite: Ubuntu power for slow machines

Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:45:03 +0200

There is a new distribution based on Ubuntu under development which is called Ubuntu Lite. The idea of Ubuntu Lite is to bring the power of Ubuntu across to the users of legacy systems.
So not just to make a small linux as this has been done before (Puppy Linux, Damn Small linux, the Rule Project). Nor to make a usable linux based desktop Operating system (that has been done with Ubuntu Linux, Beatrix). The idea is to bring the power of Ubuntu to the typical users of legacy hardware.

There are three core aims of the Ubuntu Lite Project:

1. easily used by people with minimal computer skills
2. usable on a resurrected system
3. able to satisfy a typical users requirement of applications and functionality

If you run older computer hardware, just give it a try!

What is Kubuntu?

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:27:44 +0200

Kubuntu is an official derivation of the Ubuntu Linux desktop operating system providing KDE support. It is part of Ubuntu. All packages share the same archives as Ubuntu.

It is even possible to install KDE on Ubuntu to achieve a "Kubuntu". Otherway round Gnome can be installed on Kubuntu, so there's no real limitation according to the used desktop environment. Kubuntu comes with a preinstalled and preconfigured KDE and without Gnome.

From the Kubuntu page on the Ubuntu Wiki pages "The Kubuntu project aims to be to KDE what Ubuntu is to GNOME: a great integrated distro with all the great features of Ubuntu, but based on the KDE desktop. Kubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made with a release of a new KDE Version."
