As stupid as it may sound, I'm more versed in "low-level" Linux stuff (did some basic kernel programming, services, scripts and general command line stuff) so I cannot help you directly. However, this seems to me like a question more related to Linux than the Notebook, you might have better chances of finding an answer if you asked there.
