I use the plugin because it's an easy way to manage a reading list. When a book is added, the graphic gets pulled from Amazon automatically. If there were enough purchases I might.

You'll need to update more often if you want to blog for dollars, methinks. If I order the book you’re “currently reading”, do you get a commission from Amazon?

It's just a few steps from this honour to being named Time Magazine's Man of the Year, which I have penciled in to occur around AD 2020. Hey, I’m the subject of an Al-manac entry.

I have installed UBUNTU and have ordered KUBUNTU. I dont know how to install the driver for my ati radeon 9600xt. Actually i dont know if i am meant to be downloading and installing XFREE86 or the XORG version of the driver. I am downloading them both but i dont know how to do anything in Linux really. I dont know where I am meant to set up my modem or set up a net account. (no INETWIZ.EXE) So yeah, can someone help me out with getting my ATI driver installed? and does anyone know of a good long PDF file i can read and wrap my brain around. I\'m still a Windows user, but I want to use Linux as much as possible. Thanks. :) heyas all.

I upgraded to Dapper and was pleasantly surprised to find that my system is much more responsive than with Breezy. Firefox seems especially snappier. I really like the new GNOME deskbar applet too. Too bad you had trouble installing it. I hope you can figure out a workaround or the Ubuntu devs can fix the problem. Ubuntu is great and Dapper Drake makes it even better!
