ubottuVNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX03:49
[BG]ZloboMiR!FreeNX03:50
ubottuFreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX03:50

_Techie_is this on client or server?03:54
[BG]ZloboMiRThen I put KDE on it pecause of some radio server03:54
[BG]ZloboMiRBut VNC was buggy03:54
[BG]ZloboMiRServer03:55

_Techie_so do you currently have a desktop environment installed?03:55
[BG]ZloboMiRYes, I have Xfce03:55

sismoshelow #xubuntu , ! Xubuntu, or is there a better alternative?14:57
sismosJust recently I upgraded from xubuntu something to xubuntu 9.10. The upgrade process has screwed up my system, and I can't log in anymore. Point is I need to re-install it anyways, as I am switching hard drives. I was wondering if anyone knew a good distribution to use. Here what I use my linux box for:14:57
sismos# Internet browsing14:58
sismos# Office work/word processing (includes PowerPoint presentation)14:58
sismos# YouTube videos14:58
sismos# Music (I have a Zune)14:58
sismosAny suggestions on a good distro.? I need something that is light, something that runs fast on a mediocre system. thankssssssss !14:58
charlie-tcaYou really going to ask in Xubuntu if there is something better than Xubuntu ?14:58
Sachse_Siechtumsismos, The best distro is Xubuntu of course! :-)14:58
charlie-tcaI highly recommend XUBUNTU, myself, especially when asked in this channel14:59
Sachse_Siechtumfire fox or midori for internet14:59
Sachse_Siechtumopen office or Gnu office for office needs14:59
charlie-tcaAbiword for word-processing14:59
Sachse_Siechtumsecond that15:00
charlie-tcaexaile or listen for music15:00
Sachse_Siechtumor rythmbox15:00
Sachse_Siechtumand xubuntu is good gor mediocre systems15:00
Sachse_Siechtumfor15:01
charlie-tcaOf course, one should install it from a Xubuntu cd15:01
Sachse_Siechtumand the women love it, too! When in a club, just tell the girl you're using Xubuntu and its good game *g*15:01
Sachse_Siechtum;-)15:02
* charlie-tca nods in agreement15:02
charlie-tcasismos: Do you have a real question?15:02
charlie-tcasismos: Thanks for helping the day easier, a joke now and then is really good15:03

faron Hello everybody.Hopefully all are well today.Firefox keeps shutting down everytime I attempt to load a certain webpage.Is there any way at all to stop this ? The page I am trying to load,is an instructional page from within this page...   http://www.blogjer.com/2009/03/02/this-firefox-tweak-release-memory-when-minimized/      The actual page that I am trying to load comes from a link {the word "tip"} from that page.ANY advice ?18:50
pleia2faron: if you run firefox from a terminal and repeat the steps to create this crash there is a chance it'll give you some kind of output when it crashes as to why18:53
