all this talk of downloads has reminded me of something:
how do you deal with downloading upgrades for multiple installs?
I have Ubuntu on 2 machines, and it seems a waste to download the same upgrades
twice. What strategies do people use to avoid this situation?

the only Aussie one is Internode

Hi Guys
Been noticing something interesting on one of my ubuntu pc's. It's the only
one on 24/7. Basically if left alone for some time it switches workspaces by
itself. It did it this morning as I watched. No intervention from me. Is this
meant to be a feature or some oddity on my end?
