MERRY CHRISTMAS!
"A human being should be able to change a
diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a
building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone,
comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone,
solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Ubuntu 15.10 “Wily Werewolf” on Veriton S661 (full install)
After
almost one
year I managed, just in these days, to change my Internet
provider and have back my land-line ADSL connection. First things
first, I started with updating my home desktop computer (the Acer
Veriton S661) I left mostly unattended during this period since my
mobile Internet contract was barely enough for daily connectivity
needs. Unfortunately
it seems my computer has been left too much without upgrading and the
update process halted signaling many “404” errors while accessing
to different repository locations. May be I could find another
solution to upgrade my system but, since I usually keep the “/home/”
folder on a separate partition, I decided to go for a complete
re-installation of latest Ubuntu-Gnome
release.
The
installation process
I
proceeded with installing as usual, prepared a USB disk with Ubuntu's
tool, booted from it and went on with installing. On order to
maintain my separate home partition I selected the custom “Something
else” installation type
