What's that mean?

And the Engineers' Ball, but "afterwards" is the keyword, right?

Does this mean free attendance at FOSE, or would we have to pay their
entrance fee still?

Gutsy server is to be avoided on any system whose hardware is not
specifically "server" hardware.  It is built for PAE support and will kernel
panic on boot if installed on any other hardware.  I would know.  It did it
to me when I went for a minimal install on my roommate's old laptop.  A
chroot later to install the generic kernel, and all's fine, but if you don't
already know your way around Linux, good luck figuring that out.
