FW: [Cialug] cd hand off - maybe lunch sometime this week?

[jaybabel at mchsi.com]

It's been a while since I downloaded the Ubuntu distribution.  Seems like it was quite a few hours with cable.  Murray, you're in DAMA aren't you?  If you're going to the consultant's workshop on the 26th I can bring you a CD.  Might not be the very latest release, but I downloaded it earlier this year.

By the way, if any other CIALUG members are interested, the presenter at the consultant's workshop is highly regarded and I'm told this will be his last US tour.  You can get info at:
