I am a new Ubuntu user, some past experience of Debian, but nothing to write home about.

I am a perl enthusiast on StackOverflow.com, and I am loving the Ubuntu experience. Right now, I barely see any reason to stick with Windows.

May 11	comment	How to handle out of space errors Isn't it possible to split up `/usr` on different partitions? I'm not sure how one would go about adding new partitions, but theoretically it should be possible to for example mount `/usr/share/doc` on a new partition, right?
May 11	comment	How to handle out of space errors Thanks for your answer.
May 11	comment	How to handle out of space errors I am running a Wubi install, and chose the max size I could for the Ubuntu install, which was not a lot. It created partitions for me, as I recall, though at the moment I cannot check what they were. `/usr` was created with something like 3,9Gb, according to output from `df`. Then there was perhaps 4-6 other partitions of varying sizes. I've no idea if the external HDD uses FAT32, but I am running WinXP.
May 11	comment	How to handle out of space errors The space you refer to all sit on other partitions, though. Cache, documents, pictures and even `/boot`, I think. I went with the standard options when installing, which seems silly now, because most of them are near empty, while `/usr` is full.

May 11	comment	How to handle out of space errors @bcbc This is an answer, not a comment. I'd be curious to see any tips for clearing disk space too. I read in another answer that you could use `apt-get clear`, but I am not sure that would affect the `/usr` partition.

Mar 1	comment	Pulseaudio/flash overloading CPU @jrg Gee, thanks. Its also not with non-Ubuntu, or non-computers. The first problem was about Firefox crashing, this one about Pulseaudio overloading the CPU. What would you have suggested I do? Re-open my question, take away the answer I awarded and hope someone might be reading the "Active" questions? That'd be nice: "So hey, listen RobinJ, I know you were the only one who helped me out, but I need a different answer this time, so I'm going to take back this answer." Are you guys for real?
Mar 1	comment	Pulseaudio/flash overloading CPU @nitstorm Did you even read the questions? They're related, but not "the same". My questions have 890, 891 and 624 views, so apparently they are of interest to someone. Frankly, I think you guys should spend more time answering questions, and less time scouring month old questions looking for things to clean up. Coming from StackOverflow, I'm surprised at how little useful feedback I've gotten here.
Feb 29	comment	Pulseaudio/flash overloading CPU @nitstorm It no longer loads the CPU while paused, but does when flash video is in full screen mode. And it seems to vary from site to site, and with video quality.
Feb 29	comment	Pulseaudio/flash overloading CPU @nitstorm The problems remain, but have changed. I'd like to keep this as a reference to older problems I've had.
