This howto tells you how to install a hard drive with existing data on it into a new computer. You could use a UI if you wanted, alternatively.
Find existing mount points
- See what we already have mounted.
reubenf@fridge:~$ df -k | grep /dev
/dev/sda1 14535584 3074640 10728384 23% /
udev 1815524 88 1815436 1% /dev
devshm 1815524 0 1815524 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 19380708 192860 18211096 2% /home
/dev/sda4 446745948 203020 424028236 1% /media1
/dev/sdb1 484535504 202800 459913504 1% /media2
Find all physical devices
- Now find the disk(s) that aren’t mounted. Note /dev/sdc1, below (which isn’t listed above).
reubenf@fridge:~$ ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -alh

Find file system type
reubenf@fridge:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdc1 p
Disk /dev/sdc1: 165GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop
Number Start End Size File system Flags
1 0.00kB 165GB 165GB ext3
Make a mount point for the partition
reubenf@fridge:~$ sudo mkdir /media3
Add line to /etc/fstab
reubenf@fridge:~$ sudo vim /etc/fstab
...
# /dev/sdc1
UUID=e19a4234-d7e3-45a7-b369-b6c1724ba0c6 /media3 ext3 relatime 0 2
All done. Reboot.

Ubuntu Hardy has made wireless a little easier for laptop owners w/ the broadcom 1390 chipset. No more fucking around with ndiswrapper; just install a package, run a script, and you’re done. Installing the package should do the trick, but for some reason it failed for me (the firmware didn’t download), so you’ll probably need to run the second part too.
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
You’re done. You’re welcome.

Big Buck Bunny is the second open film project headed up by the Blender Foundation, an open film being one created entirely with open source software and with all production materials being made freely available to the public upon completion. The first project, “Orange,” produced Elephant’s Dream, a dark, trippy short, heavy on dialogue and featuring human characters. For the second project, codenamed “Peach,” the emphasis was on cute and fluffy. The result is Big Buck Bunny, a large rabbit who has to deal with some small, and very cruel, rodents. In my opinion, this second project is more successful in almost every way. The final video is available for free on their homepage, and you have the option to buy the DVD if you want to support these open movie projects and the blender foundation.

Your hunch is correct. Your cat decided to live with you, not the other way around. The sad truth is, it may not be a final decision.But don’t take this feline diffidence personally. It runs in the family. And it goes back a long way — about 12,000 years, actually.
Those are among the inescapable conclusions of a genetic study of the origins of the domestic cat, being published today in the journal Science.
The findings, drawn from an analysis of nearly 1,000 cats around the world, suggest that the ancestors of today’s tabbies, Persians and Siamese wandered into Near Eastern settlements at the dawn of agriculture. They were looking for food, not friendship.
They found what they were seeking in the form of rodents feeding on stored grain. They stayed for 12 millennia, although not without wandering off now and again to consort with their wild cousins.
The story is quite different from that of other domesticated animals: cattle, sheep, goats, horses — and dogs, cats’ main rivals for human affection. It may even provide insight on the behavior of the animal that, if not man’s best friend, is certainly his most inscrutable.
