Can I Play With Madness?: gennaio 2009

Step by step tutorial, my two cents :).

1. Search and replace " hardy" with " intrepid" in the /etc/apt/sources.list file:

$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Vim-Tips: :%s/ hardy/ intrepid/g

2. At the bottom of sources.list, add the following repositories:

# Easy Peasy
deb http://packages.ubuntu-eee.com intrepid main
# OpenOffice 3
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
# Netbook kernel
deb http://www.array.org/ubuntu intrepid eeepc
# Netbook remix
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu intrepid main

3. Update && dist-upgrade:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade

Answer 'yes' and wait...

4. Install other packages, some of these are already installed in your system:

$ sudo apt-get install eeepc-config eeepc-tweaks ubuntu-eee cheese go-home-applet \
human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher window-picker-applet skype picasa \
songbird adobe-flashplugin lock-keys-applet gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libavcodec-unstripped-51 libmp3lame0 sun-java6-plugin unrar

5. Remove f-spot and rhythmbox ... if you want! :)

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge rhythmbox f-spot

6. Remove orphan packages:

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

7. Finished! Enjoy and have a cup of tea! (lemon tea... ;))

Sani

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocents broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
(We may need to hide)

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
