@msPeachy Yes. That's just my slightly modified version of the pro-forma comment written by others. I do recommend using the version with text linkified, though. (Of either mine or the default one or your own or whatever you use.)
My company is considering the use of Ubuntu as an OS for use on a hardware device.
It would be installed on compact flash drive - apparently this is not standard flash drive but a specific type of memory that is supposed to "cope" with immediate power shutdown (I am not sure how this is achie...

How can I hibernate or sleep my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and have it "wake up" the next day?
I have seen software that can do this on windows, so it can't be hard on Ubuntu!
@jrg apparently people are noticing that i'm starting to track ubuntu packages as bugcontrol... now i'm stuck with twenty emails asking "Can you check this bug?" or "Can you check this bug?" or ...
0 markdown diff link fixed capitalization in excerpt; in full tag wiki, info strongly resembles top of ADSL wikipedia article (though is probably not copied from it), so added attribution, expanded and changed wording, and also added suggestion about when this tag is appropriate to use (since we already had a dsl tag)
I usually make my tag wiki edit summaries bigger than usual summaries, since tag wiki edits should possibly have stronger justifications than most other edits. Also, if I do a tiny edit in the excerpt and a big one in the full tag wiki, and they end up getting reviewed by different users, I want it to make sense. (The same edit summary is given for both, if they're submitted together.)
Fixed capitalization. Capitalization is necessary when writing a concise question, especially when the question will be viewed by multiple readers, on an open forum such as this. It would be preferred that one use proper grammar and punctuation, so as to make it easier for readers of all jurisdictions to be able to easily read and understand what is being asked in the question, in question, no pun intended.
Pun would have been intended had this been a jovial statement, but this was not a jovial statement, therefore...
Usually when I fix capitalization I say "capitalization" or "fixed capitalization" or "improved capitalization." I do occasionally say something longer if the author has a habit of capitalizing every noun in every sentence in every question, or using capitalization for emphasis.
@RolandTaylor I will endeavor to be less verbose in my tag wiki edit summaries. (In particular, less verbose than in my summary when I proposed an edit for verbose). ;-)
@RolandTaylor Should I submit excerpt and full tag wiki edits (on the same tag) separately, so they can have different edit reasons? I've been doing them together when editing both, but perhaps this is wrong.
See this question: Offline Installation: top answer, third comment. I told the commenter that it's better to correct the answer himself than to threaten others to do so.
But I'm still not entirely certain if my reaction was correct. It's good if answers or questions get better this way, but that...
I'm trying to install ubunto on Mac OS Lion. I followed a guide and I'm stuck at when you loaded the live version of ubuntu by the dvd and you are trying to install ubuntu following the procedure...
1: I don't have a Mac, and you didn't specify whether you are installing on the hardware or the software via a virtual machine. 2: I don't know the steps of the tutorial :).
In the guide it says there are 3 options: Replace Mac OS X with Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu alongside with Mac OS X, Something else. But I only see 2 options and not the one i should be choosing (Install Ubuntu alongside)...
Create a partition for Ubuntu's / partition, and a partition for the swap space (should be around 4GB or so - but depends on the amount of RAM you have)

The title pretty much sums up my question. Is it ok to ask for an upvote when the OP feels his/her question deserves one?
