[olug] Happy Jaunty Day!

[Sam Tetherow]

Just finished installing jaunty on my laptop.  First time I have had 
working wireless there.  I've tried opensuse (latest official release), 
fedora 10, intrepid, and hardy and had no luck.  Spent a little time 
under intrepid trying to get it to work but not too hard.

I agree with you about Mark.  Never understood why people bash him so 
much.   I can understand differing opinions but like RMS and ESR 
regardless of their stance on various things you have to credit them for 
what they have contributed to free software.

Heck I even appreciate the fact that Bill Gates/Microsoft made cheap 
hardware a reality.  I remember spending $5K+ for my first machines in 
the pre win95 days.
