[BLUG] keyboard confusion

I'm using Synergy/QuickSynergy to control my Ubuntu computer from my
Powerbook, but the keyboard mapping thing has me thoroughly confused.

It looks like Synergy has some keyboard layout options, and on top of
this Gnome has plenty too... For starters, what are the meta, super,
windows, alt, and third level chooser keys? What would be the best way
to map the control key in Ubuntu to either my Apple or Control key, and
the alt key to my alt/option key? Should I focus on configuring Synergy
or Gnome? Do you know whether I can get QuickSynergy to use a particular
configuration file? I like it because it gives my wife an easy way to
turn on/off Synergy as she needs to.

If somebody would be interesting in giving me some quick orientation
here, I'd be grateful!

Re: [BLUG] Gutsy question

I dunno, I'll double-check when I get home. I DID go through an
upgrade on our "Media Center", and on Sarah's laptop...It looks like
you're right on the money there, the old "Desktop Effects" dialog is
still present. Poo.

Hi Mark,

I know there's at least one person on the list with the required parts now
who might let you test your new cube =)

Sad that I'm leaving now, maybe we could have started BNUG. It could be
kind of like a Mac club, but our socks wouldn't have to be argyle, and we'd
have more than one mouse button. =)

[BLUG] Speaking of NeXT

This is cool. I found a NeXT N1000 cube lying on a pallet yesterday
at Cook. I felt like I had just made a major archeological find. It
had been moved around over the years and eventually found its way out of
a closet and onto a pallet. It turns out it had an interesting history
in how it got here. It used to be the former CEO's computer when he was
an engineer a long time ago.

Unfortunately, it has proprietary video and keyboard ports so I can't
boot it up at the moment.

[BLUG] job plug

Hi folks -

a shameless plug for a posting I put on craigslist today:

I'm looking for webdev and sysadmin help with some linux consulting I do (too much demand, not enough hours in the day) and a new linux-based company I'm starting. It's heavy on the perl, but there's still room for non-perly folk.

 https://post.craigslist.org/manage/456603569/4qcfu

Thanks!
:August

Hmmmm... maybe when you do an upgrade, old panels are not specifically
removed and/or hidden?

Re: [BLUG] Gutsy question

Right, on a clean Gutsy install Desktop Effects options are just a
panel in the Appearance dialog, not their own dialog.
