[ubuntu-uk] comprehensively messed up by updates

[Rowan Berkeley]

If all LinuxCertified did was buy a batch of snazzy Korean executive
laptops, with Windows Vista already installed on them, and then install
out-of-date and un-updatable versions of ubuntu on them, then tweak them
to make it work as long as they weren't updated, then I would be better
off without their "support", and with the support of people in my own
area who are familiar with the up-to-date versions of ubuntu, and can
probably find any tweaks that may be necessary. I think all three of us
are converging on that view.
