Is there a place that archives the debs from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa? Specifically, I am looking for wine 1.7.17 for trusty.

Those are the packages that are currently published in the PPA, so that wine1.7-amd64_1.7.17-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb is for raring.

1.7.22 is the version currently in the PPA for trusty. I'm looking for an older version that was published a little while ago but has since been replaced.

I have them automatically rsync'd to here: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/binary/

Sometimes the server runs out of disk space and it takes me a while to realize it and it'll miss a few versions though.

That's a great resource. It seems to be missing the version I'm looking for though. I think version 1.7.14 to 1.7.17 for saucy or trusty would work, but I don't see them.

What's the state of Netflix on wine? I know it works, but is it playably fast?

It works great with wine-compholio, which is Wine with some additional patches. I use it all the time on Ubuntu 14.04. I use netflix-desktop from ppa:pipelight/stable without pipelight installed, so it just runs Firefox under Wine.

Ubuntu GNOME includes GNOME Classic session. You can choose it from the Sessions option on the login screen.

Did they fix cinnamon on 14.04 yet? I want to stay on LTS and the solution's I've come across have been to use a nightly build PPA, which is NOT an option on an LTS release, imho.

Cinnamon is not in the Ubuntu repositories, so using a PPA is your only option. A lot of people use ppa:lestcape/cinnamon for 14.04.

If gnome is a lot less demanding a ui, I might have to give ubuntu-gnome a try or see if I can switch. I have no idea what's the best way to go about this though.

You can run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop' to install GNOME Shell. You can have multiple desktop environments installed at the same time and choose which session you want at log in.

The second is that the Market shop thingy is nice and a cool way to compete with the App Store, but I think it's a bit behind when you have to run terminal commands still to install some programs or change settings or whatever. I know 'apt-get install <bleh>' is easy, but it seems almost archaic compared to Windows and Linux where you either just run through a GUI or click and install.

You can use Ubuntu Software Center to install any program, but things you find online are going to talk about apt, because its much easier to describe console commands with text.

Is anyone aware of changes to the policy/philosophy of "apt-get dist-upgrade". I imaged a server today with 14.04.1 LTS and was surprised to find lsb_release reporting 14.04.4. Unhappy with a short support (five months) release I locked it down a bit more and reimaged it to straight 14.04.1 from the iso, which did report as such. When I went to apply updates dist-upgrade wanted to pull in base-files, which updates reported release to current. This behavior certainly differs from 10.04 and 12.04 LTS/HWE behavior, though I doubt they ever stated a policy clear enough to hold them to. Since these servers are for production I can't have them going out of support after a few months, or changing kernel lines on me, so 14.04.4 is really not what I'm after. It seems as though it might be 14.04.4 in name only, as it still has the 14.04.1 3.13 kernel.

Well gently caress, I checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack "Kernel/LTSEnablementStack (last edited 2016-02-19 09:09:11" indicates all 14.04.x less then .5 will go out of support once that is out except for critical cve/secruity. gently caress ubuntu for servers.

e: didn't scroll over far enough still gently caress ubuntu server.

The minor version reported by lsb_release doesn't matter; it's bumped every six months when they update base-files. What matters is if you have a HWE kernel installed, which is brought in by linux-generic-lts-* packages. The v3.13 kernel (Trusty 14.04 GA kernel) is supported for five years.
