update-manager has managed to turn itself off on Lubuntu systems. I actually not convinced this bug is affecting everyone. I can't explain why other people haven't noticed this bug. It's a mystery of the universe. Please meditate. anyhow Nicholas Skaggs did some testing on it. Seemed to confir

Hi folks, before I start, please do not shoot the messenger :) As PPC computers can be low on RAM etc, it has been suggested that we concentrate on the alternate install iso instead of the desktop one and push our resources into that. Again, can I state it is only a suggestion! (although I do se
