Ubuntu One
Ubuntu One is a service that synchronises and shares files across multiple Ubuntu instances; it is similar in many ways to Dropbox. Free sign-up gives users a 2GB limit that is upgradeable for US$10 a month to 50GB.

  • 3G USB Support

    Unfortunately I had to fall back from Karmic Beta to Jaunty because of a bug that fixed access to the mass storage device in USB 3G dongles but dropped access to the serial device (modem). Hope they get it fixed in time for release

  • Swap space at end of disk?

    If installing to SSDs, swap space location is immaterial.

    However, on a HDD, the further the swap space is from the apps, the more time penalty it imposes, considering that when it is used, it imposes delays anyway.

    If a whole large partition is being used, it would be better to have swap near the start. If two, in the middle.
