comment Convertion of tiff image in Python script - OCR using tesseract
Ahh, after re-reading the question I see that you mean "using a decorative font named French Script". Well, I'm pretty sure that decorative fonts like that are beyond the capabilities of any OCR.

By "french script" do you mean "written in French" or "using the font named French Script"? (or any other variation of pseudo-handwritten decorative font - see this for an example fonts.com/font/monotype/french-script/regular)?

comment How to install Python 3.3?
@TamilVendhan: if you didn't have ~/bin before you need to log out and then log back in for the directory to be added to PATH.

comment How to run two DE's on one partition
@Ringtail: provided that Linux is open source, there's absolutely nothing you can't do with it - the only question is the amount of effort required to achieve what you want. Have a look at Android :) So the question may be "yes, but that would require a custom X driver", or "yes, but that would require a custom kernel module" (both of which are very unlikely, btw), but never a NO :)

comment Restore files lost from adduser
I'm talking about the fact that neither the documentation of the adduser command nor its source code have any indications that it deletes an existing directory. So, apart from "A program like photorec might be able to save you", the whole answer is... ehm... unsubstantiated :)

comment Restore files lost from adduser
Also, adduser is a perl script located in usr/sbin/adduser - you can study its contents and see that it indeed does not remove anything. Check out create_homedir function around line 650.

comment Restore files lost from adduser
From man adduser: --home DIR Use DIR as the user's home directory, rather than the default specified by the configuration file. If the directory does not exist, it is created and skeleton files are copied. - if I understand it right, it does not say that it will delete a directory if it exists. So your theory is interesting, but very unlikely to be true.

comment Lubuntu on Virtual Machine: (minimum) disk space requirements?
you seem to be mixing disk space requirements and RAM requirements. "memory" usually refers to RAM, not to disk space.
