This tutorial shows how you can install Sun VirtualBox 3.0 (released on June 30, 2009) on an Ubuntu 9.04 desktop. With VirtualBox you can create and run guest operating systems (“virtual machines”) such as Linux and Windows under a host operating system.

ago- Paul Hubert : (had to type THAT one twice! This WordPress "spam catcher" can be a royal PAIN!)
- Paul Hubert :
My thought was that if we DO add comments but those comments will never be seen, then the thread is becoming obsolete - but I DO see YOUR point, TimeWaster. - TimeWaster : Plus it is History and uless you're a progressive you don't mess with History.
- TimeWaster : It has also been linked to in newer threads as a reference.
- TimeWaster : Paul, IRT scrubbing old threads, I have found it helpful to go back and read some of the content.
- DrumBum : Silliness in the online gaming world. «link»
- Paul Hubert : Would there be any benefit to wiping them??
- Paul Hubert : So, is there any point to keeping older threads, then, Nick? Could they be scrubbed??
- DrumBum : I can be slow witted at time but in this case it was that the wheels of justice were grinding too slow .
- tsstahl :
- tsstahl : maybe it shouldn't take several weeks for some salient point, or pointed barb, to hit.
- tsstahl : think faster?
- DrumBum : That was what I thought and I don't propose any changes. I was just curious.
- The Rogue Tomato : The only way to get around it would be to fill up the tracking table with tons of entries, which would slow the site way down.
- The Rogue Tomato : I forget what threshhold I set, but anything older than (whatever - prolly 2 weeks) is ignored.
- Paul Hubert : Thanks for the update, Tom, and good question. I've been posting to the 'Quakes' thread but since they're my own postings I assumed I wouldn't SEE them as unread... I don't see the one you refer to, tho, and of course should.
- DrumBum : This does bring up a question about old threads. I went to this thread and posted a comment, expecting it to show up in the "Unread Comments" area. Is there a date for threads that is considered "too old" to resurrect ?
- DrumBum : An update to the story posted here last October about the Muslim girl from Ohio who wanted to convert to Christianity. «link»
- Paul Hubert : ...wonder if Linus has gray hair...
- Paul Hubert : well, then, I guess it IS getting kinda old...

- Paul Hubert : Greetings, Sugarbear!
- Paul Hubert : Thanks to a "27 good reasons to love Linux" article, I've just sent on of my occasional "preaching Linux" letters. Naturally, no one here is a recipient!
- Paul Hubert : well... shower time... those quakes in Okla kinda of 'interesting' ... but LOTS of 'interesting' things of late
- Paul Hubert : lot of tough situations in families of those I've known... I was lucky... my mom loved her kids so much I don't think anything would keep her down unless simply unable to STAND... and that happened a time or 2
- sugarbear18 : My mother suffered from depression and stayed in bed for weeks to a time. I had to cook or not eat.
