I would love to claim that this is my project, but that credit has to go 
to Riaan.  I am really just a user who takes active interest in the 
project (working on the doc) and I try to help other users.

I was away for a few days so have to catch up on things.

I use Boa mostly on Vista and only rarely use it on Ubuntu, also I am 
toying with the idea to switch over to Ubuntu as the primary platform.  
So, I will try to review all the points you make and see if I can help, 
but there are others out there who have Ubuntu experience and might be 
able to help you quicker then I do, therefor I copy the list.  Anyhow 
these type of exchanges should be kept on the list as it might help 
other users in the future.
