  2. About the bash-dash on Ubuntu, one thing you could mention on the other page (comments closed there) is the tool checkbashisms (package devscripts), useful for “scriptwriters”.

    (And don’t you think the comment live preview should be placed above the textarea? I wonder how many people don’t even notice it… BTW, this blog/website design is awesome; something you wrote yourself?)

  4. Ubuntu laptops are also available from Linuxcertified, Inc.(http://www.linuxcertified.com). Wide range to choose from.

  6. The http://wiki.ubuntu.com site contains developer specs, team organisation spaces, meeting notes and some redirects to the http://help.ubuntu.com/community documentation wiki. If people are searching for help then that last address is probably the most useful.

  10. Re: missing quicksilver, have you tried gnome-lauch-box? It’s in feisty, and rather good.
