[06:46] <TheNewAndy> when I install from CD and choose "Install Ubuntu", it goes through all the motions, and finally presents me with a dialog box asking me to restart the computer.
[06:46] <TheNewAndy> The box only has one option "Restart Now"
[06:46] <TheNewAndy> Is there some reason why this box is needed, and it can't just do the restart for me?
[09:18] <cjwatson> TheNewAndy: the system often needs a bit of physical care at reboot time anyway (e.g. removing a CD), and I find it less confusing this way (you don't come back to a login screen without any visual confirmation of success, which is important for reassurance since an OS install is a fairly substantial operation)
[09:19] <TheNewAndy> fair enough. I figured that there would be some thought behind it, I was just curious :)
[21:08] <freevryheid> firefox plugins - should these be installed from firefox or apt - or doesn't it matter? I'm a single (and only) user of my laptop.
[21:08] <freevryheid> the same regarding python modules and easy_install
