how to make end of life ubuntu versions work

location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 3, 2011
I am using Linux Mint 9 which is based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, a LTS edition with which i am much taken. It is my intention to continue using this and never upgrade even after it has reached it's end of life, which is going to be in April, 2013. To that end i have made a custom ISO with Remastersys (and burned to DVDs)to reinstall with, in the event of a crash. I have been given to understand that repositories for such editions will be shut down after the said expiry. Not a problem, sez i, i would already have all the applications i need, installed on my system and backed up on my custom DVDs. The only snag to my grandiose scheme would be the driver installation should i ever have to reinstall. Is there any way for me to get around this problem? I would extremely grateful is someone can help me prepare for that day, i'm too old and tired to be learning to cope with the likes of Unity and Gnome 3, and somewhat stubborn enough to stay with what i have settled on.

Xubuntu 12.04 (Xfce 4.12) How to make a file launcher in top panel?

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: January 12, 2013
I have done a lot of searching, but only find directions/guides/wikis on how to add apps to a launcher to the top panel. I figured out how to add a xcalib script to be run in terminal when the launcher icon is clicked, so I am thinking somehow files should be able to be opened in one too. In gnome2, I could just drag the file to the top panel. Not so, with Xfce. The first file, a .pdf file, is this one in my home: Code: /home/mikodo/BP.pdf Can anyone tell me how to do this or provide a link on how to do it? I am stuck. If it involve writing scripts, I am screwed, so kindly don't waste your time with that. Thanks. ;p
