Ubuntu bits and bobs:
in order to change the su password:
sudo su passwd
In order to install Beryl (the desktop manager) on a machine with an ATI Radeon card[1]
NB the Laptop R250 gfx card has too little memory to run Beryl in resolutions over 1024x1024 so you have to scale the resolution down to run Beryl, as it runs natively at 1400x1200.
To install VMware (NB After the installer fails, you install the vmware-any-any patch, then you go to /usr/local/src/vmware-server-distrib/bin and run vmware-config.pl) [2]
