support forums and multimedia

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)

Ahhh, that is good to hear.  It's also good to hear about more modern 
fora(? forii? forums??) such as AskUbuntu.  I do really like the 
UbuntuForums as there is a LOT of useful stuff tucked away in there.  I 
didn't realise it was a lone individual paying for the thing 
"out-of-his-own-pocket".  Top marks to him!!

Regards from

Tom :)

            Hi :)

              As others have pointed out there are support forums and
              mailing lists that can spend more time on details.  

              

              This is a good one about Gnu&Linux in general

              http://www.linuxquestions.org

              

              For specifically Ubuntu the official (and OpenSource)
              forum is at

              https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu

              note that to ask a new question there is a green + sign
              near the bottom of the 2nd (ish) box on the right-hand
              side.  

              

              A popular forum (but privately owned, note the ".com"
              instead of ".org" or whatever) for specifically Ubuntu is

              http://ubuntuforums.org/

              People tend to assume it's the official one for some
              reason.  Still, it is an excellent forum and very
              popular.  A good and friendly place to get answers for all
              sorts of issues despite being moderated.  

              

            
          
        
      
    
    Hi,

    

    you might to know that ubuntuforums used to be privately owned -
    since 2007 it has been owned by Canonical, it is in fact the
    Official Ubuntu Forum :)

    

    "The Ubuntu Forums were created by Ryan Troy (ubuntu-geek) in
    October 2004. The forums became a popular resource for Ubuntu and
    were deemed the Official Ubuntu Forums in November 2004. The forums
    hosting continued to be maintained and paid for by Ryan until March
    2006, when Canonical graciously offered hosting for the forums. In
    June of 2007 the forums domain, license and assets were transfered
    to Canonical who is now the sole owner of the forums.
    "
