Is it possible to get the windows 7 window behavior in ubuntu?
The specific part I'm talking about is the gestures thing where you can throw your window to one side and have it resize to take up that side, or to the top and have it maximize.

I'm currently running Windows XP, but have ordered Windows 7. I want to keep Windows XP on a separate partition, and install Ubuntu as well.
In which order should I install the OSs, and is there anything differing from an ordinary single-system install I should keep in mind? For example, does the order of partition make any difference? If I want to have the system drive as "C:" drive in both Win XP and Win 7, what should I do?
I created a partition on USB harddisk in windows and it reports to be an NTFS partition.
Yet in ubuntu 9.10 fdisk says it a FAT16 partition. If I mount with -t ntfs I see nothing, but if I mount without it I see all the files.
Can anyone tell me whats going on here?
Windows computer disk management definately says its NTFS, and a quick look at the raw data suggests it is NTFS, as I know the FAT16 very well.
Note:
uname -a
2.6.28-16-generic
cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 9.04 \n \l
I have disabled iwl3945:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | tail -3

Question:
How can I use iwp3945 instead?

Where can I download vmware-vdiskmanager for Ubuntu without installing vmware workstation?
need to resize and .vmdk and converting to virtualbox is not an option.
On Windows I use an AutoHotKey script to tile the active window to the left half of the screen, the right half, or a few other options.
Does Ubuntu/Gnome have a program that would allow me to do that?
If not, do you have an idea how to create this programmatically, or at least can point me to a resource?
Hi all,

I am trying to get my locally assigned IP address from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with ifconfig and what I'm getting is my external IP address (in other words, it's the same IP I see on whatismyip.com)
When running ifconfig eth0, inet addr shows my external IP address instead of the local address.
How do I get my local IP address ?

I saw the intel-microcode in the ubuntu repositories and was wondering if it was worth installing on my Yorkfield-6M based system. If so, what are the benefits from this package?
I was using my LCD monitor with my laptop properly with Windows 7. But I am facing a problem in Ubuntu.
It connects in a proper way but on pressing backspace it automatically moves back to my laptop screen. Sometimes pressing any key moves back to my laptop screen.
How can I fix this behavior?
Is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and W7.vhd? If anyone knows please tell me how.

I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?
I need to have two instances of Tomcat 6 running on Ubuntu 10.04. I know it should be doable pretty simply by something like:
copy /var/lib/tomcat6 to /var/lib/tomcat6-2
modify ports in /var/lib/tomcat6-2/conf/server.xml
copy /etc/init.d/tomcat6 to /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2
modify /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2...
...but my problem is that I'm unsure what I should modify in /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2. Chaging the NAME in the beginning of the file clearly is not enough.
I installed Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it won't boot on my laptop. It works fine on my desktop but not my laptop. It says it can't find root... what do i do?
