If all else fails, there's the old fashioned way - On Ubuntu or debian,use dpkg --get-selections to dump out a list of installed packages, and install them with dpkg --set-selections. The equivalent of this for red hat based distros is yum-debug-dump and yum-debug-restore (optionally with --insta...
but I want to reinstall my Windows on the new one because I neglected the old one (only use it for games) and it's now riddled with viri (the scientific plural of virus)
Would turn an install of ubuntu into a installable livecd
the developer ragequit. Someone else tried to take over, complained that the original developer wanted to charge 50 quid for the source code and... charge 50 quid for access to the software.
I've a server "nodejs server.js" and I want it to restart as soon as it crashes but only if previous restart time is more than a second. This will prevent my email being flooded if the server exits immediately.
Here is the start_server.sh which restarts it. I've placed it in @reboot in crontab ...
But yeah, I'm apparently behind on standard vaccinations too so this has been an interesting couple of weeks (MMR, Typhoid, Tetanus, Flu, Yellow Fever, Hep A, Hep B, Rabies, probably Polio... and antimalarials). Thankfully I'm okay with needles.

@ByteCommander It's probably fine, it's just a weird way of asking how prefetch works in Ubuntu. On top of an answer, they want a citable resource (which is okay)
@Ravan The purpose of flagging an answer is to have it removed outright. That doesn't serve the best interest here. The answers might not be perfect (they could do with some fleshing out) but deleting them doesn't help anyone.
@Ravan It's for questions that get loads of "I have the same problem" comments as answers (because they're from new users who can't comment). We try not to use it too much because it also stops legitimate answers from new users.
As VLC 2.0 is released, how do I get it in Ubuntu (XUbuntu actually, in my case) 11.10? Any PPAs or packages to download? The official page says "Ask your favorite packager..."
