Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:23:50 +0000
I've been running Ubuntu dual-booted on an Asus laptop for a couple of
years, with no problems for the first year or so. Then about 12 months
ago I started getting intermittent screen freezes, after variable

UKFSN helpdesk response
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:23:47 +0000
Is anyone else getting an excruciatingly slow response to queries?
I posted one on the 26th September and - apart from the automated
acknowledgement - heard nothing. I put in a reminder on 26th October
and still haven't heard anything :(
I was asking about getting stats on my site hits. They used to provide

Linux for the elderly?
Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:16:01 GMT
I have always considered that Linux may become more widely used as a
niche OS; my thoughts were more on specialist desktops for children, and
I have set up several machines with some success in this way.
Here is a different take:

Blocking iPlayer
Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:31:54 +0000
My darling children are very good at burning my 20Gb bandwidth limit in a
week. I've dealt with youtube by redirecting youtube.com in my DNS cache but
iPlayer is proving more difficult.
Anyone got a suggestion how I can limit access?

Unable to delete 'Trash' in evolution
Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:17:46 +0000
Connecting via IMAP to our email server I'm finding that Evolution
cannot empty the 'Trash'. When I click the 'Empty Wastebasket'
option is thinks about it for a while and then nothing.
Also, it may be related, but it seems that all emails that /don't/
match to my filters are automatically deleted. They used to ...
