Connecting to the webdav server of my provider Ziggo is easy. Just use Ubuntu's 'connect to server' function. As you can see from the screenshot you need the following user data:
It is recommended that you create a bookmark (here: Homedrive). This way you can click the bookmark in Nautilus and enter the given directory.

If you ever need to make a time lapse video of a series of jpeg images, try this:
mencoder -ovc copy -mf w=320:h=240:fps=6:type=jpg 'mf://*.jpg' -o time_lapse-test.avi
I used a bunch of small webcam images made with motion and it worked like a charm.

For some reason Nautilus refuses to connect to the secure webdav service of my internet provider. Fusedav to the rescue!
sudo apt-get install fusedav
fusedav https://server.nl/directory /home/user/dav
Also see http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/fusedav/ for more information on fusedav.

Want to improve the quality of your fonts on screen? Then create a file in your home directory with the name .fonts.conf with the same content as the attached file.
When you're done. Log out and back in again and prepare to be amazed :-)
P.S. Auto-hinting isn't enabled by default because Apple apparently has patented this 'technique'.

Look no further. The Edimax EW-7128G works out of the box on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.
It even says so on their website:
- Complies with IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g products
- Supports Turbo Mode to increase the transmission 30% faster
- Supports WMM (Wireless Multimedia) to increase multimedia data throughput
- High throughput supports multi-media data bandwidth requirement
