The Third Man posted:So I'm teaching myself how to use linux using Ubuntu, and I was just browsing through the free and open thread in GBS when this was posted regarding linux: With Ubuntu out of the box, you should be OK. I don't believe that SSH even comes pre-installed. Assuming you have a home router, I doubt you already have port 22 forwarded. I'm just a dabbler at Linux and will admit I don't yet know the finer points of security, but I'm not really sure what Jailbrekr's concern is or if it applies to Ubuntu desktop use. Maybe he doesn't want anybody running off and setting up some unsecured web server. Of course, if you install an ssh server or any outward-facing server, make sure you use a very secure password (or disable password auth). Romanian botnets love spamming port 22. babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Apr 30, 2012 |

Mak0rz posted:That's odd, I thought they planned to change the recommended version to 64-bit upon this release. I didn't really notice if they did or not because I needed 32-bit anyway. I heard that as well, still shows 32-bit for me on a 32 or 64 system. 12.10 maybe?

piss explosion posted:Does anyone know if wireless drivers would have been improved in 12.04? Last night I hosed around for like 2 hours trying to get the broadcom-sta driver to work with the broadcom 4313 network adapter on my laptop but gave up after a while. This was still on Kubuntu 11.04, so not sure whether upgrading will do anything. I have a 4312bg in my laptop, and it works splendidly in Xubuntu 12.04. I've never had any problems since 10.04, however.

Heads up for Xubuntu users: Uninstalling Mail Reader through the Software Center will now uninstall your xfce4 package as well.

AlexDeGruven posted:Ridiculous dependencies for the... win? It was an easily corrected but puzzling event for me. At least it breaks my bad habit of never bothering to read dependencies for anything in the USC.

I like xrdp. Edit: My knowledge of NTFS in Linux only extends as far as "it will work". babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Jun 26, 2012 |

I use Cinnamon as my primary environment in Xubuntu 12.04, and I haven't had any issues with it.
