I have a dual boot setup: windows vista and ubuntu.

But, I actually have a duplicate Ubuntu install that I setup a long time ago to get my bootmenu back... (my computer at one point could not find the boot record because I was playing around with the partitions.. i couldn't start the computer, had to install new UBUntu, and my boot menu came back).

So I want to get rid of this duplicate Ubuntu install without having the same problem again where I cannot get the boot menu. The duplicate install is what caused my boot menu to appear again so thinking that they are connected.

Thanks.

Is there software I can install to enable me to monitor inbound and outbound internet traffic for security reasons?

I recently installed ubuntu and loving it because of speed and interface. I want to do what I can to make this the greatest OS I've ever worked with. Can you provide suggestions as to what I should install or do?

I have a IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad T500. I was previously a exclusive windows user, but recently installed ubuntu and loving it because of speed and interface. The only thing is that I don't get some features that I came to enjoy in windows. I need help setting these up:

1. Hard-drive protection - active protection software that pauses drive when there is movement

2. My printer doesn't work (can't find the driver for this one): canon Ip2600

3. A way to change which graphics chip to use while in OS. I have both the integrated and non integrated (dual-graphics). (If not easy to setup, I know there's a way to do it before it boots, but don't know how).

4. CPU performance level - in windows you can pick "high performance", "power saver", etc.. to save batteries.

5. My integrated camera w/light - it works but need an app where I can record videos, take snapshots, etc. can't find one that works.

Thanks!
