How to install Swedish Spelling Checking on English Ubuntu 12.10

The most popular system language for an operating system is English when working as a system developer, but when it comes to writing document you probably need a local language spelling package. And in me previous blog I have written how to install swedish spelling package for LibreOffice, but with Ubuntu 12.10 there is a better way. Install the spelling checking package as debian package.

$ sudo apt-get install hunspell-sv-se

Afer installation you need to restart LibreOffice. Then you need to make LibreOffice aware of the the new spelling package. You do that by open Tools -> Options... -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids

Now you can change spelling checking for text or the complete document via Tools -> Language

Certified Hardware on Ubuntu, for example TP-LINK Network Card

I have been getting question about installing different network cards on Ubuntu. And for some week ago I tried to install a network card with Atheros chipset with drivers from http://wireless.kernel.org, but If you are not a very advanced Linux user and do not want to spend a lot of your spare time I would recommend you to by a new network card. Network card are really cheap and maybe the most Linux friendly network card is TP-Link. A TP-Link 1 GB card is really cheap and only cost about 9 EUR or 11 USD (http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=235&model=TG-3269).
