I want the lightest Ubuntu release so I get us much as possible out of my computer.
I will only use this one for gaming, that's why I need to get as much out of my laptop as possible.
I want:
Low cpu usage
Low RAM usage
11.04
11.10
Please list only one release per answer.
when I use different workspaces I normally have a music workspace, a main workspace (where I need to focus), and a workspace that makes me feel good (xkcd etc).
So is it possible to have a different background image for each workspace?
bc is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with
interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in
the syntax to the C programming language. A standard math library is
available by command line option. If requested, the math library is
defined before processing any files. bc starts by processing code from
all the files listed on the command line in the order listed. After
all files have been processed, bc reads from the standard input. All
code is executed as it is read. (If a file contains a command to halt
the processor, bc will never read from the standard input.)
This version of bc contains several extensions beyond traditional bc
implementations and the POSIX draft standard. Command line options can
cause these extensions to print a warning or to be rejected. This
document describes the language accepted by this processor. …
First of all, thank you very much for providing this useful forum.

I get this window whenever I try to click on a file/folder I've just downloaded it's really annoying. Because this is the link that opens the file so I don't have to go via the desktop.

> 1983: Steve hired Pepsi president John Scully. The hiring was an important moment in Apple’s history, as the same John Scully would later go on to fire Jobs from his own company. When Scully was reluctant to join Apple, Jobs won him over with this iconic question: “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want to change the world?”
I needed to change the mouse wheel scroll rate in GTK applications. I downloaded and modified GTK3 source code. I recompiled it. It did the trick for gedit and nautilus. But did not do it for gnome-terminal and pidgin.
Why not? Are these apps using GTK2? I would understand Pidgin but gnome-termi...
