@ andylockran: That’s certainly a more elegant way of doing it thanks for this.

The other way is to run the command a2ensite, or a2enmod to enable either a site or a mod in your *-available directory.

a2dissite and a2dismod also disable sites/mods respectively.

Comment on Ubuntu Karmic Beta by Alex Vega

I tried the Beta of Koala release and I have some things to say.

The boot appears to be faster, but it’s a trick, as I said, it just appears, with a chronometer in hand I measured the same time than Jaunty, anyway everything is working on my HP laptop, even the video acceleration is better I tried Google Earth and runs flawlessly, even with atmosphere enabled.

The only black rice is that my grub menu is still forgetting to show my other OS but I know it will be fixed in RC…

I can’t wait for that…

I’d definitely give it a try. Did it myself about 4-6 months ago with Jaunty and I was really surprised how well-integrated and smooth everything worked.
However, Karmic (with KDE 4.3) has been a huge step forward – it’s more stable, the Oxygen theme is lighter than the old one and it es in generel more mature (my personal impression).
So if you’d like to test it, I’d either suggest waiting until 9.10 arrives or testing an alpha release (which would have to be installed on another partition anyway). They are already surprisingly stable (I’m using it on a productive system actually, you should laugh at me .. )

To be honest jaunty’s version of kde4 is a lot better but still no as complete as 4.3 in karmic. The only thing is getting reused to the way stuff works.

I like you tried loadsa stuff. What I find it that kde apps tended to be more mature however I’ve noticed that this is slipping from time to time in the 4 evolution as they bring in newer apps to replace older ones.

On the whole kde4.2-ish onwards is a lot more feature complete but if you got used to the workings of gnome I bet you’ll be back there before long

I am loving KDE4 in Jaunty – There are still a few things that could be better (arent there always), but it is slick, itegrated and fast.
Definitely give it a go – even if it is just a live cd!

I’d never consider it. Ever. No matter what the fields were. See http://twitter.com/simonw/status/3388809329

I suppose it was my mistake not to mention that these are fields you would not necessarily be searching. There’s nothing wrong with properly escaping data, I did not say this was a replacement. I said it was an added layer, it’s at your discretion really to use it or not.
