That's beginning to look good, isn't it ?

Adam, a little typo made it in the list.

In the:

Installation / Configuration heading there's this link:

-The perfect setup- Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake

It should be:

-The perfect setup- Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake
wink.gif

Okay . . . here is what I propose:

In Great Linux Links section "Major Distros" i incude a link to:
- http://www.ubuntu.com ( is missing in this thread tongue.gif )

In the section "Hardware Databases" I include the link to the:
- Ubuntu HW database

In a new section "Ubuntu Info" I place:
- Community Documentation
- Common Questions
- Root/Sudo
- Hardware Database ( yep again wink.gif )
- All Great Ubuntu Links ( links to this thread )



How is that ? . . Can we all agree with this ?
