Linux help anyone?

I have set my computer up to run Ubuntu 9.10.
So far it works great and is much quicker than XP.

The only issue I have found so far is with Photobucket.
PB will not open up the current folder for uploads; it insists on bringing up the folder the way it was before recent pictures have been added.

Is there a setting I'm not finding in PB or Ubuntu?

Once this is sorted, I will let XP gather Microdust

Hi Rick,

All sorted out and I have even imported all my picture stuff from XP to Ubuntu. I've found some wonderful add on tools that make life so easy B)

I've also just locate instructions for getting my Photoshop to run under Ubuntu; will try that later.

I'm almost at the point now where I'm almost completely non dependent on XP or any of it's apps.

My short experience with Ubuntu has been a pleasureable experience. I no longer have to put up with constant interruptions and slowdowns with anti virus scans and spyware updates.

The system is a lot faster than XP and on this machine it was fast!

I'm even getting the rust off script writing. I made a small one today to grab a few hundred image files form a server in China. Nothing fancy but I would never have even thought about trying this in Windows

Really getting to appreciate Unix/Linux all over again

I had become so brainwashed by Microsoft that I almost forgot that Unix/Linux is an OS you can work with. Once I turned my brain back on, I quickly found what I needed and also started thinking like a computer person again.

Won't be long before I'm writing my own 'extensions'

Cool Peter, sounds like you worked it as usual
