http://ubuntu.wieza.org - reviews, tutorials, howtos and notes about applications with videos and screenshots.

Well, right now there isn't many, but I added what I could and automated many sections of the page. I hope in the future - with your help - the site will become a huge repository of knowledge about every application that runs on Ubuntu Linux.

Wait, isn't there already a place for this kind of stuff?

Also, why do the pictures fade when you don't mouse over them?

Have a look at his css.

.gallery-box {
  border: 0px solid;
}

.gallery-item {
  border: 0px solid;
   filter:alpha(opacity=70);
  opacity: 0.7;
  -moz-opacity:0.7;
}

.gallery-item:hover {
  border: 0px solid;
   filter:alpha(opacity=100);
  opacity: 1;
  -moz-opacity:1;
}

Well, I know it would be a CSS thing. I was more asking why it was set up that way.

Where? I haven't found any good wiki site like that. So I hope mine will one day be ;)

In the future I'll write tutorials and howtos for some exotic applications (I also hope someone will help me with that) - no need for new ones for GIMP or Inkscape or Blender - like PDFEdit or RoseGarden and reviews of rarely used but good apps from Ubuntu repository. So the visitor of this page would be able find a new, fine application for his needs and also some help how to use it.

To look nice. :P

I recently switched to Ubuntu on my work laptop as I was getting very sick of Vista32 and I've really found it to be a very good thing. I still use dual boot as there are some bits of software that I still need in Vista unfortunately and I couldn't get to run under WINE. On various machines that I run at home though, I've currently got Vista64 on the lot as this seems much faster and is more stable than its 32bit counterpart.

I was hoping to run Ubuntu on one of them which I use as an ftp server but I couldn't find a good enough intuative ftp server in spite of trying Pureftpd and various interfaces. In the end though I decided upon Filezilla under Vista64 as this is easy to use, stable and FREE!!! I did look at Ubuntu server but it became apparent very quickly that one actually has to know what one is doing so that ruled me out as I tend to work out what I'm doing as I go along…

On the subject of good Ubuntu wikis, I have never found one but the forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/ seem pretty comprehensive.

Good luck with your wiki!

Cheers,

Chris
