Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

Brad, instead of using the builtin Package cleaner, you could use latest version of Ubuntu Tweak 0.4 whuich has it. If you are using Hardy, you can use it.

So, is it safe to use on my laptop now? I've been meaning to dual boot Ubuntu, but been waiting for the this release. It's too bad you can't triple boot on a mac. If you could, i'd have Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Hi,
I've got Vista and Ubuntu 8.1 dual booted.
1. Install Vista. Mine was using the DELL cd so the entire HD was used.
2. Boot into Vista and partition the HD. I left about 50GB for Ubuntu.
3. Downloaded the Ubuntu and burnt to a CD. Booted the CD and click Install.
4. During the install, I chose to keep the Ubuntu Partiton as NTFS, what Vista left it as.
5. In the install program choose NOT to overwrite the boot sector.
6. Boot into Vista. Download EasyBCD by Neosmart Technologies.
7. Start BCD and it searched the HD's and found both installs and gave me the option to add the Ubuntu as a Boot option. I changed it to be the Default.
Now when I boot up it will default to the second option, Ubuntu, Ubuntu then starts grub under the NTFS and allows me to reboot into Vista as the last option (if I pres ESC at the GRUB menu prompt, so you could continually manually restart into each one - neat!). It will boot into Ubuntu. When I want to start Vista I have to just catch it at the Vista Boot loader and select Vista and away it boots.
NOTE: The Grub loader will allow me to select Vista but returns me to the Vist Boot lodaer so I have to manuall y select it here!
Hope this Helps.
PS: There IS a triboot option for Mac, windows, Ubuntu but I dont have a Mac and havent trried it. I dont know what you need installed first....

Thanks for the tips. I have done dual boot before, but this is an interesting method. I should try this sometime. I usually just use the default grub loader I think. It'd be really interesting to get triple boot to work since I like all 3 OS's. I've looked everywhere. Oh well. I'll just stick with what i've got.

Anyone having problems finding a working mirror can use Metalinks. They also can tell you if the download was corrupted.

"...Ubuntu 8.10 makes it simple to detect and connect to 3G networks and manage connectivity. This connectivity is delivered through an inbuilt 3G modem, through 'dongle' support, through a mobile phone or through Bluetooth. It is a complex environment that Ubuntu 8.10 simplifies through a single interface and the auto-detection of many of the most popular devices."
Whoa! Awesome.
Hear that? That's the sound of a half dozen carrier executives ulcers acting up.

Downloaded UBUNTU 8.10 from 3 USA sources and got as many as 17 file errors when verifying the disks. Tried a source in England and got 1 file error.
Loaded release 8.10 on old computer and seems to be running O.K. so far.
Hope mirror sites can get "good" download copies soon.
