Hi,
I have a bunch of Ubuntu case badges which I am selling for 25p each.
They are robust aluminium ones which can replace the Windows/Intel

Have to admit I've never played with it though it does seem to get good
press.
Would there be any gain to following Alan C's example and createing your own

Hey guys (and girls),
I had a major problem with Feisty. My in-built SD reader was
unsupported. So I waited eagerly for Gutsy hoping that it would be
supported but to no avail.

Hi folks,
Today I've downloaded (and am currently playing with) Linux Mint. I've
got to say, that I'm suitably impressed!
Basically, it's Ubuntu but with all of the media codecs built in and
enabled. It's also got software like flash, realplayer, java etc
installed and ready to run out of the box
