Must admit I was surprised to see adverts in the

of US 13.04, but apart from that I'm delighted with it so far.
Everything is so much snappier than with the Kubuntu 12.04 I used
before. Even things like fetching mail is noticeably faster!
Software Centre opens if I click a .deb Maybe I'll just uninstall
it if I'm allowed. :)
Don't know how long it would last, but you can also remove the mime line
from /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop. I don't know
if setting the file mode to 444 would keep a SW update from overwriting it
or if that would hang the update. Ypu can also choose another application
by right clicking on the deb and then make that app the default.
OT: How do you like FreeBSD's tcsh shell and configuration?
One of the first things I do on any new Linux install is install
tcsh and get it working with 'history search' on up/down arrow
keys like fbsd, and then get my prompt looking right.
Soon feels like home...
I do bash. Don't know or care if it's best, just what I am used to.
