Then it sounds like a bug, either hw related, or the LiveCD. I don't recall from the last time I used the liveCD if I dinked with the clock, but it works fine on the HD installed systems here.

rt click on directory, select share, give pbuttword (if needed to config for sharing) select method (usually SMB or NFS) fill out particulars. You shouldn't have to touch the network config if it's already set up, which it normally is, automatically.

Not really, (at least, IMHO) some things, like fire, the wheel, and such, stand the test of time. Aspects of GUIs are no different, some things last, some don't. Using what works is hardly a bad thing.

KDE is a bit... busy for my tastes, but there are them who like it.

nothing is zeroconfig, the question, is who has to do the configuration. Yes, CUPS is browseable. For security reasons, the default config, is set to disable it. Wouldn't want your server spreading the printer out to the world, would you?

and remember, CUPS is what Apple chose for it's printer sharing engine.

most apps on liveCD Ubuntu, are GNOME, notable exceptions are Firefox, Gimp and OO.

does it follow the OSX themes?, firefox will now follow GTK themes, which is nice, although it doesn't cover file dialogs and the like. Huh, interesting, I just checked Firefox, and it now uses the GNOME file dialogs for save as, don't know when that changed. So does OO and Gimp, hm, I wonder if the file dialogs have seen a big change in Hoary.

See above :) Gimp, OO, and Firefox now seem to use the GNOME file dialogs on Hoary.
