Hello, as I'm not seeing people considering new questions i have taken the time to do a simple grep of the #xubuntu logs from <a href="http://irclogs.ubuntu.com">irclogs.ubuntu.com</a> from 09 to last week for: <a href="http://pastebin.com/k1v1Aptq">How do?</a> <a href="http://pastebin.com/8B6ghP0g">How to?</a> <a href="http://pastebin.com/yPerf92m">What program?</a> <a href="http://pastebin.com/zTa40Wf9">I want to..</a> I think that looking at this we could manage to condense a bunch of repetitive questions that pop from time to time, if you think there is something to add to my greps please tell me and I will add that too. Else I will start to parse this results for the most common questions I can find. Again, thank you all who do Xubuntu, and have a nice day. :) <div class="gmail_quote">2011/6/29 Charlie Kravetz <<a href="mailto:cjk@teamcharliesangels.com">cjk@teamcharliesangels.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:06:32 -0300 Bruno Benitez <<a href="mailto:gridcube@gmail.com">gridcube@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Hello to all, hope you are having a very nice day. > > First of all thanks to all the people who makes xubuntu, I always find this > to be one of the greatest linux distros I've tried.

Yes, many of these should be intuitive. Some are, but most are issues that many new people ask over and over in #xubuntu. I am quite sure these are not all the things it would be nice to point to, either. Let's get a list together and post it on the <a href="http://xubuntu.org" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org</a>. It will not only be a very useful aid for new users, but a way to draw/push those same users to the website. If you would like to see an item on this list, please submit it. We are closing submissions in two weeks, which will be 2011-07-13. Thanks for helping make Xubuntu greater than it is! <div class="im"> -- Charlie Kravetz Xubuntu Project Lead Linux Registered User Number 425914 [<a href="http://counter.li.org/" target="_blank">http://counter.li.org/</a>] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
