Stupid question:
Sky Router, that's mean you use Sky Broadband?

I never got around to running what you suggested.

Yes. Not fibre optic where I am, though. It's all old fashioned and it stops working every few seconds. I get a better 3G service with Orange on my Android.
 
I liked that setup your now in Kubuntu. Sorry to hear that your Windows Partition was corrupt.
 
UPDATE: I'm now using Norton DNS and now my download speed has gone up to 200 KB/s average from my old 50 KB/s maximum speed, whether this is a coincidence or not is unknown to me, as I had been feeling faster speeds earlier today, but I hadn't downloaded anything that gave me a speed reading.
I am not going back so I guess I'll never know. ☺
Hail Symantec! :D

Norton has more servers around the world than Clearcloud or comodo.

It's just coincidence. DNS has absolutely no effect on throughput.

All DNS does is resolve unique URL's that aren't in your local cache. Depending on how many unique URL's you encounter while browsing, browsing could be slightly quicker. (We're probably talking milliseconds here...) Once the lookup has been done, DNS plays no further part.

In other words, it works like this:
Your PC- What is the IP address of whatever.com?
DNS Service- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Your PC- -connects to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and commences download-
 
I have added OpenSUSE to my setup.
I seem to have lost Kubuntu for the time being, as I cannot find the boot parameters that must be added to SUSE's GRUB to allow it to boot.
Does anyone know what the boot parameters are?
 
I've been trying to get dansguardian working with clamd, but when I try to start up dansguardian, it displays the following message:
Code: 
Unable to getgrnam(): Success
I've been looking this up on Google, but the solutions provided were not helpful.
Does anybody here know how to get this working?
