Unfortunately there is no Adobe Air Application Uninstaller to uninstall the application.

Fortunately uninstalling them is pretty easy with Synaptic.

Open Synaptic.

In the left bottom , click Status Button.

Synaptic now shows the filters on the left side pane.

Select Installed(local or obsolete).

Now you should be able to see installed Adobe Air applications.

Mark the applictions and uninstall them.

hope that helped you.

Initially the desktop effects didn work.

I tried to enable the graphics card from Hardware Drivers tool in System -> Administration.

It installed nvidia-glx-new and the other necessary packages.After restarting the system, the screen got freezed after the re-booting the system, before the login screen came up.

I uninstalled all the drivers and tried to install the grapchics driver using EasyNG.EasyNG installed the NVIDIA Driver 169.xx.xx version(i am not sure about the version number).But still it didn work.

After googling for the solution , i found that there was beta version NVIDIA Driver 173.xx.xx, even that didnt help.

On 28th May 2008 NVIDIA released the final version of Driver 173.14.05.i tried again installing the latest version.

Now Desktop effect works perfectly on my laptop.

I am too late to blog this , but still this would help someone out there.

The webserver is Resin.lets try.

steps:
Prerequisite: JDK 5.0 or later version.(i didn try with 1.4 , so i am not sure.)
1.Download Resin from Caucho .( ofcourse )

2.Unzip the .tar.gz file.( yes, for linux download the .tar.gz file)

3.Open a command prompt and navigate into the resin folder .

4.In the command prompt type ./configure

if u get an error “checking for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables” .

the solution is

for Ubuntu/Kubuntu on 32 bit processor : instal glibc-devel.

for Ubuntu/Kubuntu on 64 bit processor : instal libc6-dev-amd64.

5. in the command prompt type make (if your ./configure command was succesful.)

6. in the command prompt type make install.

If everything goes fine till here then the installation of Resin web server is complete.

To start the server , in the command prompt navigate into the bin folder and the type the command ./httpd.sh.

Open your favourite web browser and type http://localhost:8080.You should get the welcome page.

If you get an error that “tools.jar is not in the classpath” , open resin.conf file placed inside conf folder and

replace the tag

<java compiler="internal" compiler-args=""/>;

with

<java compiler='javac'/>

This should solve the problem.

Restart the server and check in the web browser , you should get the welcome page.

i found this in that article…

That Dell chose Ubuntu wasn’t much of a surprise, since Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell had already announced that he is running that distribution on his home laptop. Michael Dell is currently using Ubuntu 7.04 on an extremely well-equipped Dell Precision M90. His system uses an Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 Processor, which runs at 2.33GHz and comes with a 4MB cache. It also comes with 4GB of DDR2 (double-data-rate) 667MHz DRAM, a 17-inch WXGA+ wide-screen LCD, a 160GB 7,200-rpm SATA hard drive, a 8X DVD +/- RW optical drive, and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 512M graphics card.

the updated news is …

Dell is trying a second time to sell personal computers with Linux preinstalled, this time using the up-and-coming Ubuntu version of the open-source operating system.

At the end of May, the No. 2 PC maker will begin selling some consumer-focused laptop and desktop models with Ubuntu’s new “Feisty Fawn” version of Linux installed, Dell spokesman Kent Cook said. The company announced the Linux move on Tuesday on its IdeaStorm site, launched in February to gather feedback directly from customers about what they want.
