Welcome to Swerdna's Ubuntu Tutorials and HowTo / help pages.
Tutorials for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. To a very large degree they also apply to Kubuntu 9.04
Hi. I've been cruising around Linux for quite some time now but I'm very new to Ubuntu. Here are some web notes I'm making of my time learning Ubuntu. It's a slow process and I hope the notes help other newbies like me.
HowTo Boot / Multiboot openSUSE from the Ubuntu GRUB bootloader (Kubuntu too)
One of my first challenges with Ubuntu was that after an online update in openSUSE, the bootloader entry in Ubuntu that used to get me into openSUSE was no longer valid. So I devised a boot entry that survives kernel changes and other variations that occur from time to time.

HowTo Configure Stable Samba Network Browsing for an Ubuntu / Windows Workgroup
Simply put, its an explanation of the common options for making network shares on Windows and Linux machines visible in the network browsers of both operating systems on the networks used in homes and small businesses (AKA a Windows/Linux workgroup on a SOHO LAN).
HowTo Mount NTFS Partitions Read Write in Ubuntu & Kubuntu
HowTo Mount a Fat32 / Vfat Partition Read Write in Ubuntu & Kubuntu
These are two sister tutorials on mounting windows partitions. Windows FAT32 and NTFS partitions on USB drives will automount with read/write access for the mounting user when they are plugged in. Permanent mounts are available by setting mount commands in the filesystem table (fstab) to execute at boot time. Temporary mounts are also available from the command line interface.
Well, that's all there is at the moment folks. No doubt Ubuntu will challenge me again soon and perhaps I'll record some reference material from those challenges here.
