lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen
considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites,
complete library automation as well as wish to create digital libraries.

Please follow proper installation steps to install livecd if you wish
to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines.

If you are installing livecd on a machine which is running under proxy
and if you are unable to browse Internet then on every boot you will have to manually set current date and time. To set current date and time manually run the following command on every boot to set systems current date and time.

root@localhost:date -s "09 NOV 2012 03:35:00"

Please change current date and time as above so that machines behind
proxies can run Internet successfully.

I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Y S5300 Pocket mobile phone. It showed the sign of "Sleep of Death" a common problem of Android phones. The sign of the disease is that phone is automatically switch off when it not in use. I went to Samsung service centre and described my problem. They re-installed the software. But problem  not solved. But I updated the OS through Wireless Internet connection and the problem solved. Following are the steps I followed:

1. Connect your Samsung Galaxy phone to Internet connection.
2. Open Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Update Check for updates
3. Allow the phone to receive update from Internet. Wait for the process complete and at last phone will automatically reboot.

My phone survived from "Sleep of Death" problem after this process. I don't know how it works in your phone. My Phone based on Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) OS.
