Pretty ancient and slow.

It works perfectly well with Xubuntu 9.04, there is a wireless Broadcom BCM4306  802.11b/g rev 3 wifi card in it. I had to manually enable the restricted driver under, Applications, System, Hardware Drivers and then reboot.

At that point, wifi, sound, suspend and hibernate all worked perfectly. :-)

Code:

sudo apt-get install ttf-georgewilliams ttf-sjfonts sun-java6-fonts ttf-larabie-deco ttf-larabie-straight ttf-larabie-uncommon gnome-specimen

I am reviewing hundreds of fonts to pick the right one for my new IT Care Inc. logo I am designing. I will post the best of them fonts soon.

For now here is an “appetizer“, though:

This font is called Cuomotype in case you wanted to know. :-)

Re: How do I create a page that doesn’t appear in the navigation

You can create a page in the normal way then exclude it from the navbar. Find this in header.php:

Code:
<div id="navbarleft">
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>
</div>

and change it to:

Code:
<div id="navbarleft">
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=XX&title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>
</div>

Replace XX with the ID number of the page to be excluded.

To exclude more than one page, the code looks like this:

Code:
<?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=1,4&title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order’); ?>

1. Alt+F2
2. “gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/screensavers/gltext.desktop”

Change the line that currently says Exec=gltext -root to the following line instead:

Exec=gltext -root -front -no-spin -text “Mind is your conditioning\n always seeking expression\n IN THOUGHT\N through NOW!”

3. Save, Exit

4. Set your Screensaver to GLText under System, Preferences, Screensavers

This way the server stays at the console login prompt instead of booting into X (GDM)
