I'm about as far from Hawaii as you can get. Upstate NY. We got up to 44
yesterday, but tomorrow is going to be back in the teens.

I loaded my Ubuntu 8.10 on a PC I built my self last night. It seemed to go
fine with a couple odd things, but no real problems. I got a message that
graphics was loading but there was a problem, but it looks fine to me. I have
another PC, the one I'm using now, so I got rid of an old non working version of
XP and have just Ububtu loaded. I'm planning on using it for video recording and
editing and ofcourse burning DVDs. I'm taking it slow and reading The Ubuntu
Pocket Guide by Keir Thomas. It has some very good instructions and tip to using
Ubuntu. As usual experience is the best teacher.
