Netbook Apple in estate

The Chinese newspaper Digi Time reports that Wintek, a Taiwan company, Apple has received a commission for the supply of new touchscreen monitor intended for a product that will be announced during the second half of the year, someone assumed for the summer.

The fact that these displays should be used to Quanta, "Old" assembler of Apple laptops, to realize the mysterious new product, many suggesting that it may be a touchscreen netbook.

in Ubuntu | | 5 Comments » | Last modified:

sources.list per repository di ubuntu hardy 8.04 updated 5 March 2009

Edit: Update 27 May 2009: Here is the updated list to 27 May 2009, with corrections and additions.

Attention to use your brain and read when you upgrade or install a software, problem may be just around the corner.
Remember to add the gpg key repository, unfortunately somewhat tedious operation.

Edit: This method, always stuck in sourceslist, does nothing more than read the /etc/apt/sources.list and import keys on all the repository therein. Just immetere konsole from the following code:

for i in $(grep -o -E “http.*.(gpg|asc|key)” /etc/apt/sources.list); do echo -n “$I “; wget $i -q -O – | sudo apt-key add -; done; keylist=””; for key in $(grep -o “[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}” /etc/apt/sources.list); do if [ -The “$(echo “$keylist”|grip “$key”)” ]; then keylist=”$keylist $key”; gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv $key && gpg –export –armor $key | sudo apt-key add -; be; done;
