Python skills are an area in which I hope to develop further, so as to
be able to read and understand patches to Ubuntu desktop.

My testing rig is an Inspiron 1525 running various Ubuntu and CentOS5.4

The Inspiron 1525 is also my travelling setup, and so I try and keep up with dongle setups in /etc/ppp/peers<<BR>>
I take an interest in UbuntuOne and manually initiated connections (dongle and/or tethering)

== Thunar file manager - how to make default and other useful links ==
can be done by creating appropriate .desktop files to ~/.local/share/applications/
by using seds along the lines of s/Exec=nautilus/Exec=thunar/g
The .desktop files you might create for full effect might be:
  nautilus-folder-handler.desktop, nautilus-browser.desktop, nautilus-computer.desktop, nautilus-home.desktop, nautilus.desktop

== Reasons to love Lucid ==
Comes with Kernel 2.6.32 which should make Direct Rendering with ATI cards possible
without requiring binary/third party garbage (hopefully)
Lucid includes a simple video editor (PiTivi) which [[http://gnubyexample.blogspot.com/2010/04/simple-video-edit-using-pitivi.html|can be used to cut a video into pieces]]
and other simple editing operations http://www.pitivi.org/

== Reasons to love Karmic ==
Fn+Esc on my Inspiron 1525 issues S3 (Suspend to RAM) and it works flawlessly
