LibrettoWorld News
LibrettoWorld has now been moved to the new server provided by Amberdms Ltd and is being administrated by long time LibrettoWorld contributor Jethro Carr.
I’d like to express thanks to Bob Maas for setting up LibrettoWorld originally and for his many contributions over the past couple of years and wish him all the best with his future ventures.
Meanwhile, it’s business as usual – as part of the server move, the site has been updated to the latest release of Wordpress and PHPBB and I’ll be posting some more articles in the near future, including a HOWTO on running Fedora 12/Linux on a Libretto U100 laptop.
There has also been a few changes to some of the pages, links and the removal of google adwords, there is still some work to be done like doing a proper theme for the blog and forum and updating some of the content in the blog based on the great information in the forum.

Librettoworld redesign, move, upgrade!
Yep, I’m planning to redesig Librettoworld.com, move it it another (American) server and upgrade the Wordpress software to the latest stable release.
Well, this is the plan I just came up with:
Look for a nice FREE design, Wordpress 2.8 compatible. If somebody has a good idea, or even want to design a FREEcustom Wordpress layout for Librettoworld, please contact me or leave a comment!
Install the latest verion of Wordpress on the new server (Bluehost.com).
Move all the data to the new server.
Instal the latest version on the PHPBB forum software (http://forum.librettoworld.com) and move the forum to the new server also.
Clean the forums user database, because we get an awful lot of spooky users.
If one of you readers really feels to need to help me with this (espacially the PHPBB software), please contact me. Every help is really appreciated.

Xubunto 8.10 on my Libretto u100
Yesterday I upgraded my Xubuntu to the latest 8.10 release.
Everything seemed to went well, but after a reboot the display manager won’t start anymore. After login and a simple sudo gdm, I’m back on a Ubuntu (!) login screen to enter my XFCE desktop.
Think I’m going to reinstall the thing, because I’m planning to make it dualboot with Win dows XP again.

Linux on Libretto 110CT
This is just a few notes to show you how I trialed Linux on my Libretto 110CT. I used the following distros:
- Zipslack (a cut down version of Slackware without X-Windows. It is called Zipslack because it is designed to be booted off a Zip disk)
- Damn Small Linux
Linux on the U100 (2)
Well, as I wrote in my earlier post, the first attempt to install Linux my U100 wasn’t a big succes. But, after some Googling, I learned that Xubuntu should run witj the Lilo bootloader instead of GRUPP.
So, after a quick download of the Xubuntu 8.04 Beta Alternate CD, I put the CD into the DVD slot of my U100 and started installing it the alternative way.
