<div>Hi Kenny,</div><div><br></div>Wounds licked, I've been as you will have read been some what disheartened over things. But, on the new slimmed down version of ubuntu (lubuntu) we have some one who is interested in seeing what it can do. The horrible news? lubuntu is gtk(2) (uses lxde, but gtk compliant) based, so no it is not going to have gnome unless and until they code to gtk.?<div> <br><div>As a part of these discussions <a href="http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=14">http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=14</a> has a new person. Heck, I may even get a tester for some things.</div><div><br></div> <div>As that baby forum is in the midst of moving to a new host provider, new members replies are moderated so as to keep out the spammers (there is a discussion on capchta on it). </div><div><br></div><div>To every one, you are welcome to pop over. if you email back I will remove any person from this mailing list to remove them from the moderation queue.</div> <div><br></div><div>One of things I have reflected upon is that there are people who are frustrated, I do not mind a good hearted discussion but can we try to have a positive note to the end of the frustrations, even if it is just "I feel better getting that out of my system"?</div> <div><br></div><div>I'll see how the area progresses, if it does okay, I can split it into 'get if your chest' and technical discussions for web stuff. </div><div><br></div><div>For the 'team' would it be okay to recommend to people that they join this mailing list to see what is going on with life? Also, would it be okay to tell them of <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=145">http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=145</a> In my view, the more that know the better, but I ask permission first.</div> <div><br></div><div>With vinux etc., being about, there is a lot going on, but little reporting of it. I do get the usual bots like google, bling etc, come wandering round so it may help when people are looking for information.</div> <div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Phill.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 8:03 AM, Kenny Hitt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kenny@hittsjunk.net">kenny@hittsjunk.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi.<br> <div class="im"><br> On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 04:21:53PM -0400, Eric S.
