I'm doing the big update for Kubuntu right now (package fixes or whatever) that popped up and running everything on top of 32 bit XP each OS in VirtualBox gets 768MB which should be enough though I'll have to wait a few minutes to switch back over to Ubuntu if I don't want to crash anything. I don't run page files/virtual memory and even killed off the swap partitions and things run so much faster! When I finally do move to a Linux distro it'll be a 64-bit version (can't do 64 bit on top of a 32bit OS) so I'll have access to all 4GB of memory. They're slowly getting 4GB sticks out for DDR3 though they're still $200 a piece. I was happy with 2GB of RAM just a few short years ago before I started emulating operating systems.
Oh hey while typing all of that it finished...let's see here...Ubuntu...
Hey it's there! It wasn't intuitive though I did find the tree structure in a small menu nested in that same area.
Is there a way to customize the main menu bar so I can use the cut, copy, paste, and delete buttons? Yes I know about and constantly use keyboard shortcuts however by also having multiple ways of doing the same thing I minimize thought wasted upon lower level constructs of work so I can concentrate my concentration on the task at hand. I was able to set th icons to have text labels below on the previous install before it self-imploded though I remember that the options were scattered in some other menu for some strange reason.
