recently i found a really nice site to download virtual appliances.

Turnkey Linux is an open source project that's developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances which are optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios and can be deployed in just a few minutes on bare metal, a virtual machine and in the cloud.

here are some of the supported appliances:

• App Engine Appliance
• Tomcat Appliance
• phpBB Appliance
• WordPress Appliance
• LAMP Appliance
• Rails Appliance
• Joomla Appliance
• MediaWiki Appliance
• Drupal 6 Appliance
• Drupal 5 Appliance
• LAPP Appliance
• Django Appliance
• MySQL Appliance
• PostgreSQL Appliance

unfortunately there is no TikiWiki Appliance, maybe i will put it together ...

i just tried to install ubuntu on a usb-hdd on my compaq 8510p. Everything seemed to work properly except i got the error:

Grub Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition

the solution was pretty simple:
i switched to edit mode in the boot menue (select a boot-option from the list and press 'e')
then i tried to change the entry root (hd1,0)
changing to hd0,0 worked as expected

to make the whole step permanent i searched in /boot/grub/ for 'hd1,0' and found menu.lst

there i changed the entries for the main- and the compatibility- boot option to 'hd0,0' and restarted the computer

result: works as expected *hurray*

After some days of trying i just found the solution to use my HTC Diamond within Ubuntu.

My Problem was, that the internetconnection was quite slow when i was connected through ICS (internet connection sharing) ... the solution is very simple:

just open your terminal after the ics connection is established and type:
sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1392

(probably you have to change eth1 to eth0 or eth2 or wherever your device is mounted)

have fun!
