    HazelIced,

    Keep an eye on the team mailing list and IRC channel. Judging from traffic on the IRC channel there will be a gathering in the Raleigh area.

    Team Meeting Day and Time Survey

    Hi All,

    Things change; many that were okay with holding team meetings on Thursdays now have conflicts on that day or the current time (7:00pm). So I've made a survey to attempt to find the best...

    Good luck rplantz! I'm an old linux hand since '99; winxp has been messing with my virtualbox playground.

    [ubuntu] Re: Where to install grub

    Good point sir: I come from the days when all system wide settings were in /etc. Ubuntu is geared toward desktop users.

    [ubuntu] Re: auto-upgrade not working

    You will need to disable that repository and key. Your post indicates only the key is offending; however I bet that if you only disable (comment out) the key you'll just get another error.

    Yes, grief probably wasn't the best term to use. The sadness part is far more accurate.
