Xubuntu and Synaptic

daacosta · 03-24-2006, 11:43 PM

Does anybody here have experience with Xubuntu? I understand that I can simply install it using synaptic and then restart my box to choose it, am I right?

You call that urgent???

Some feedback, instead of just a disbelieving comment:

When you post with an inaccurate subject line you're wasting the time of the people who'd like to help you but can't. Putting in a descriptive, accurate subject gives you a better chance of getting some real help from someone who can help.

When you deliberately post with an inaccurate subject you're going to cut down the number of helpful responses as people move on to other posts instead of considering yours.

It is called a joke...

Understand that concept? How much of your time did I waste? A couple of clicks? Be a good sport man...

I edited the post so that it is no longer offensive...

Ruudra,

To be honest with you I believe that the reaction was way out of proportion and after reading the original thread you will realize that I didn't mean any harm. Come on... Lighten up... And thanks for calling me n00b

Despite having used Linux for the past two years I still consider that I have got a lot to learn...

Lighten up and have a good laugh... Sheshhh...

Well... I thought so in the beginning but now that I see the reactions...

MY DEEPEST AND SINCEREST APOLOGIES TO THE PEOPLE THAT READ THE ORIGINAL THREAD

Can we move on?

daacosta,

Have a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu

1. Uncomment the universe repository
2. #sudo apt-get update
3. #sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Just leave the # marks out.

Check out the link in my signature. You REALLY need to watch "Posting and You"

XavierP · 03-26-2006, 02:48 PM

Thread title fixed

Sheshhhh!

This is idiotic... It was a joke and I tried to fix the title of the post by editing it... It wouldn't allow me to, so there...

To any moderator here: EDITING DOESN'T ALLOW CHANGES IN THE TOPIC TITLE... OK?

What else do you want from me?

An apology? I already offered it...

Take it easy guys! Don't start moralizing another person for a stupid post that was meant to be a joke...

By the way, I didn't have time to look at your signature and will not look at it... So... Sorry... It was intended as a JOKE... OK?

Thank you, I already have all repositories uncommented and I now know how to install Xubuntu (read that wiki... Thanks!) Is it worth using Xubuntu? How have your experiences with it have been?

NOTE: I will not entertain any more discussions about my bad joke... If you guys are ready to move on I am... I already responded to these stupid moralizing attempts in a bad manner and I am ready to do it again.

Your joke appears to have fallen on it's face. And yes, we know that you can't edit your thread title. On the other hand, I can and did.

Really, the best thing for you to do is to accept that it wasn't funny and move on, after promising never to do it again.

Anyway, let's get the discussion back on track and get back to discussing the whole "installing xubuntu via synaprtic" thingy.

daacosta · 03-26-2006, 08:41 PM

I can go for that Mr. Moderator but I ask in return that anybody moralizing and making any comment about the stupid joke have his/her post erased... Is that fair?
