Ubuntu has a trash can/recycle bin feature similar to windows. The difference with Ubuntu is that you can empty the trash from the command line.
First you need to open your terminal and type the following command

rm -rf ~/.Trash/*

Note : You probably have files there that can only be erased if you have root privileges.
So, try this code instead:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*

Enjoy Trashing..

The terms wallpaper and desktop picture refer to an image used as a background on a computer screen, usually for the desktop of a graphical user interface. ‘Wallpaper’ is the term used in Microsoft Windows, while the Mac OS calls it a ‘desktop picture’ (prior to Mac OS X, the term desktop pattern was used to refer to a small pattern that was repeated to fill the screen).

In order to provide a better service to the existing openSUSE Community and to our new users, we’re pleased to announce that suseforums.net, suselinuxsupport.de and the openSUSE support forums at forums.novell.com (the three largest English speaking dedicated SUSE forums) are joining forces to merge into the new official openSUSE Forums at forums.opensuse.org.

Behind the scenes, a project team consisting of Novell employees, openSUSE Community members, and existing forums’ staff have been working on this project since the beginning of 2008. The new infrastructure will be hosted by Novell to ensure the highest possible quality of service.Current plans are to migrate the existing active members of suseforums.net and suselinuxsupport.de into the official openSUSE Forums, simultaneously implementing Single Sign On for the whole openSUSE Community. We hope to make the transition as seamless as possible, and will go live Spring 2008. More information will be posted as available.

All in all, a big gain for the whole openSUSE Community.

While not as sexy as the BMW Z4M or some of the other automobiles on display during CES, we had learned an interesting fact about the driver-less Carnegie Mellon vehicle: it runs Ubuntu. This Carnegie Mellon vehicle with sponsors such as Google, NetApp, and Intel, had won this year’s DARPA challenge. This automated vehicle uses a dozen Intel core 2 processors, but at the bottom of the software stack is Ubuntu 6.06 “Dapper Drake” Linux. Ubuntu 6.06 was chosen for being an LTS (Long Term Support) release. Perhaps next year’s vehicle will be running Ubuntu 8.04?

Think back to the earlier computing days when Windows 95 was the Operating system of choice. When one wanted software for your computer you went to the web and downloaded ’shareware’ software. This software allowed you to use the application for a limited number of days, then it would cease to work or become crippled in its functionality and have multiple pop up windows advising you to pay $20 to the developer to allow keep using the ‘full’ application.

The idea behind this sort of software distribution was to get you hooked into using the software, and then when you’re dependent on it, charge you a small fee to keep using it.
