[DC LoCo] 10.04 upgrade questions

[cmhowe at patriot.net]

Ubuntu List,

(1) I don't expect to succeed, but I am trying tp persuade a 10th grader
in my church (and her mother) to get Ubuntu installed on her laptop in
addition to Windows, version unknown. What can I tell her about the
requirements?

(2) I have two computers, the one I call the Shuttle and the one I call
Black. I expect to bring the Shuttle only to the installfest, mainly
because I can handle it physically, but not Black. Does that make sense? I
am still having problems I don't think I should have. I know. I bring up
the rear, but things don't work that should work, vi being the prime
example.

(3) On Tuesday, 6 April, I get a large part of my life back: I get
cataract surgery. I will feel like I can go out at night. That leads to
the q1uestion, would I learn anything by sitting in on bug jams. It would
be in a fly-on-the-wall capacity. And would the group prefer I not do so,
based on I would be taking up space and would ask a few questions?
