Thanks for getting back to me bored Ant! Its really nice to here from you again.  Thanks for the replies.  I don't have any problems with Rhythmn box or utube but I have never listened to one straight after the other but I have lost the sound in u tube before in fact I lost the whole lot after trying to alter the preferences for various sounds but I managed to get them back by installing esound but if I go to a web site and expect to hear a commentary or something I don't hear anything-its not vital but it just bugs me-the other thing with the sound is I get the little ubuntu tune when I boot up my laptop and all the beeps etc etc but if I go to preferences then the test sounds don't work.  These things are not major but you know when you just can't fix something! I think maybe its just one of those little idiosyncracies of Linux-I am getting used to it now. I will plod on regardlessly. all the best Jenette jenette palmer --- On Sun, 9/8/09, ant burton <apburton84(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote: From: ant burton <apburton84(a)googlemail.com&gt; Subject: Re: [Staffslug] A few slight problems To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk Date: Sunday, 9 August, 2009, 1:14 PM Hi Jenette, 1. Scripts are like small programs, usually javascript as ur seeing them in your browser. Allow them if you trust the site + if they are require for the functionality of the site, else just ignore them. 2. Who's ur web mail provider, google? If so they have handy tutorials for setting up a number of different mail clients. Google the one your interested in. 3. Personally I wouldn't bother with the net book remix. 4. I've had problems in hardy with the sound in a browser, does it occur when you have finished playing music say with rythmbox, then when you go to say youtube there's no sound? But if I had gone straight to youtube my sound was fine. Bored Ant On Aug 9, 2009 11:16 AM, "JENETTE PALMER" <jenette.palmer(a)btinternet.com&gt; wrote: Anybody bored! 1. What are scripts and shall I allow them- they keep coming up on the bottom of my browser? 2. How do I configure Evolution to work with webmail and if I can't what mail can I use  it? 3 What is the Dell Netbook remix and shall I install it on my Dell Laptop? 4 Sound is ok generally but it doesn't work in my browser any ideas. All on Ubuntu. regards.

Thanks for that I will have a look at it.  I have a Dell Mini 10v so in between those that you mentioned.  I just wasn't too sure about it all but grateful for your extra input.  I like what I have got but am a bit of an obsessive fiddler so was just curious. thank you jenette palmer --- On Mon, 10/8/09, Russ Phillips <russ(a)phillipsuk.org&gt; wrote: From: Russ Phillips <russ(a)phillipsuk.org&gt; Subject: Re: [Staffslug] A few slight problems To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk Date: Monday, 10 August, 2009, 8:14 AM On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 1:14 PM, ant burton&lt;apburton84(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote: Just to add to that, the netbook remix is a version of Ubuntu designed specifically for netbooks, with an interface that should work better on smaller screens. This web page has more details, including a video: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr Dell Netbook remix is a version of it that has been tweaked by Dell for the Inspiron Mini 9 and Mini 12, with drivers etc for those devices. Don't even consider it unless your Dell laptop is an Inspiron Mini 9 or 12, as it's specifically built for their hardware. If you do have a Mini 9 or Mini 12, then I personally wouldn't bother unless you really don't like what you've already got and want to try something different.
