UBUNTU CDs NEEDED Re: [LUNI] Help or New Distro Recomendation Please

[Larry Garfield]

The next DePaul LUG meeting is Thursday evening, 6:30 PM until whenever, in 
the Lincoln Park student center, second floor, east side.  Look for the 
cluster of laptops.  I'm sure someone there can burn a CD for you if you let 
them know in advance.  The mailinglist can be found at 
dlc-subscribe at mailman.depaul.edu

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
