Why not use pyquery ( https://bitbucket.org/olauzanne/pyquery/ )? Plays nice with WebTest ( http://webtest.pythonpaste.org/ ) and django-webtest ( https://bitbucket.org/kmike/django-webtest/ ).

Google+ has one draw for me - hangouts with extras. The rest I ignore.

The article told you - licensing. They've been trying to get Google to license the patents. Presumably Microsoft and Apple have already licensed them, or come to some other arrangement.

That's what Ubuntu Friendly ( http://friendly.ubuntu.com ) does.

Absolutely. Certified means we've got an agreement in place with the manufacturer to test specific models. For everything else, we're started Ubuntu Friendly: http://friendly.ubuntu.com

Desktops, Laptops and Netbooks are certified using the 32bit version of Ubuntu and Servers are certified using the 64bit version of Ubuntu Server Edition. This is based on the most common usage patterns we've seen. Another answer is that it

Yes. Device substitutions are hard enough, but device revisions add another layer of complexity.

We do that. Have you drilled down into the individual listings? I'm currently working on displaying the 'core' (processor, network, display) components in the main listings to a) help differentiate between SKUs and b) stop you having to vie

There is an X100e and X121e listed, but no X120e. I've seen enough hardware listings to know that there's no guarantee of equivalence between models.

All systems are tested from a fresh install, therefore the installation is part of the certified status. Also see my comment about SKUs: a single model name can cover a multitude of incompatibilities. Anecdotally, I've managed to crash my M

One of the big issues we have (and have yet to solve) is that of SKUs - just because you have a T510' it doesn't guarantee that the components are 100% identical. Suggestions (beside testing every possible combination, which simply doesn't

Within those listings is the Component Catalog that lets you search for individual components (contained within the certified systems). There's no guarantee that individual components will work together, but it's better than not knowing at

10.04 LTS was hard to get working, 10.10 less so, but 11.04 was the easiest. You should try again.

Ubuntu-certified means that we (Canonical) have an agreement in place with the manufacturer to certify specific models. We're hoping that the crowd sourced results on http://friendly.ubuntu.com will help more motivate manufacturers too.

That's the whole idea of the listings. :)

by schwuk 15y ago
We have a very large number of systems to test, and it is not feasible to test every system with both 32-bit & 64-bit. There are also requirements from the manufacturers to consider. (Please note, I don't perform the testing, so my know

Ubuntu actually works really well on MacBooks - since Natty I've not had to do anything OOTB to use it on my MacBook Pro, and only minor tweaks for Maverick. While you'll never see Apple hardware certified for Ubuntu, I expect we'll see lot

I'm the maintainer of the application that provides these listings, and it's great to see them featured on HN. I'll try and reply to some of the comments, but feel free to ask any other questions.

Apart from installing the plugins (details depend on the plugin, but basically git clone into the right path), I've not done anything else but learn the shortcuts. Sublime Text 2 works the way (split views, Command-T, pyflakes etc.) that I
