 when ximian evolution is installed, or if you go to a new version, the spell checker is not set up by default. To do this you have to do the below... OO on the otherhany requires 'apt-get install myspell-en-gb' or myspell package for your contery.

Been trying to do this for ages for desktop users. finaly found a sulution. Set UID as root for the shutdown program. Set UID, or SUID, makes the program run as that user, rather than the current user. Obviously you have to be root to do this:-
chmod a+s /sbin/shutdown
you can then add a launcher to the gnome top bar with the command '/sbin/shutdown -h now'

Kind of odd but this took me a while to find. My problem was the internal clock did not work too well. I wanted to use NTP (Network time Protocol) but havent quite got there so I set the time using 'date --set HH:MM' while as root. I have now solved the problem with the -g switch on ntpd, read on...

| The 1.1 release of openOffice.org is almost there. They are up to 'candadit release 5' whitch means they have got through 5 cycles of user testing. This means that is it probably as stable (if not more so) than MS orrafice. One of the great things for new users is you can set it up to behave just like word.
