[ubuntu] Problem remote controlling local Ubuntu machineview story

http://ubuntuforums.org – I moved to Ubuntu on my local machines at home. I have 1 desktop computer with no monitor,mouse or keyboard attached, and two laptops. The idea is to run the heavy tasks (compilation, long downloads etc.) on the "server" (the desktop) and control it by the laptops. I have open SSH on the desktop. I have no problem connecting by SSH to the desktop. I tried two methods of remote controll (Hardware)

Last time! What laptop/netbook?view story

http://crunchbanglinux.org – This is the last time I post a topic like this, I swear :DSo, my mom just bought an Asus Transformer Pad TF300T. For me, this was a nice time to check out whether or not I'd get a nice tablet to fill the gap between the heavy laptop and my phone. Whilst it's fun, it's not something for me. (HowTos)

How to Solve Wirelesss router issues vs. ISP issuesview story

http://askubuntu.com – So I've been having a lot of issues with my internet connection since installing 12.04. This is happening on both of my laptops that run this version. My mac has no issues although I did just notice one page that took a while to load. Which brings me to the question. What tools should I get and how would I go about testing whether the issue is at the wireless or the actual internet. (HowTos)

I am trying to make g45-h264 branch of the libva and intel-driver and haven't found prebuilt packages for fedora - the ones on atrpms are without the patches. (HowTos)
