Feb 11	comment	Is there a simple mail server I can install? "Just be careful, not to produce an open relay system" - that's exactly why I was asking for something simple with a GUI interface. I'm a developer, not a mail admin, and I need to be able to set this up easily and safely, for the singular purpose of being able to test email-sending php code.

Jan 31	comment	Sync only selected subfolders to UbuntuOne? Thanks, that did it.
Jan 31	comment	Sync only selected subfolders to UbuntuOne? OK, one more question - how do I STOP syncing a folder? I tried to uncheck the Synchronize This Folder checkbox shown in the ribbon at the top of a folder that was previously set to sync, but it greys out and gives me a spinner graphic like it's trying to do something. If I leave the folder and go to a different location, then go back to the folder, the box is checked again.

Jan 31	comment	Sync only selected subfolders to UbuntuOne? OK, I just tried that before I posted, and I could swear that the option was greyed out on subfolders of the Documents folder. Just looked again and it's now available. Strange.

Jan 31	comment	Is it possible to do a remote wipe of a system? Thanks. I actually just posted the same thing; hopefully it will let me delete mine since you got to it first!
Jan 31	comment	Is it possible to do a remote wipe of a system? Thanks. Now, once all of that is installed, how do I monitor for the computer being connected to the internet? I assume I'd need to have some kind of software installed on another machine that would constantly be running and watching for the IP address of the stolen machine, correct?
Jan 31	comment	Is it possible to do a remote wipe of a system? I should have asked if there was anything a relative newbie could use :o) I'm willing to dig in and try what you suggest; could you elaborate and/or point me to instructions for doing something like this?

Jan 23	comment	The simplest workspace switcher? @Jorge - OK, what's CW?
Jan 21	comment	The simplest workspace switcher? @Anergy - thanks. I do know how to switch workspaces; I'm just a little fuzzy on why, so I've been asking everyone I can find who uses them for examples of how they use them.
Jan 21	comment	The simplest workspace switcher? @michealH - I know how to ask a new question. But usually, questions like, "how do you personally use a feature" get closed because it's too vague, or subjective.
