I haven't seen an update on the status of removing Python 2 from the CD images, and this page has last been updated late 2013.
Looking at this page, it looks like armel arch will not be provided for 14.04. I'd that the case? Why so and when did this happen?
As a sidenote, I run armel 12.04 on my embedded systems, and haven't checked if armhf works.
I was tempted to remove the *-generic kernel image from my EC2 instance since it's not the one running, according to uname. What's running is the *-virtual one. Thing is I'm not sure if it's safe, me not being comfortable with how these EC2 things work.
I added the following content in /etc/init.d/reboot script:
FILE="/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules"
rm $FILE
This did not work, since it complained when I restarted the system:
rm: cannot remove `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules': Read-only file system
I tried upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 and failed:

That makes me wonder if this a temporary situation, or if I must do something about my repository sources:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
I decided to get rid of network-manager for some reason, and now in order to get on the network, I have to run sudo ifup eth0. Here's what cat /etc/network/interfaces gives:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
How do I ensure I don't perform this laborious process again... how do I get the network started automatically on boot-up?
I once advised someone to remove a package that depends on ubuntu-desktop meta-package, if she didn't need it (EG: if one uses a different editor than gedit). Someone else said that doing so (removing gedit which will in turn remove ubuntu-desktop) could break things. Is this true? Are there any other potential problems?
I'm curious why Ubuntu Team Wiki uses a different web interface to Ubuntu documentaion.
Is it valid if I mark a bug "Fix Committed" if the package in question is hosted upstream (outside of Launchpad)?
example: bug report, committed fix.
Please post articles or blog posts that detail the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu (negative/positive) that you find insightful/useful/excellent... and please don't limit this to just the OS, but also the rest of their respective eco-systems.
How do I get 10.04 (Lucid) to log me in automatically on each reboot?
