[ale] Ubuntu Georgia LoCo upcoming events

[Bill N]

The RC totally destroyed my screen when it first came out and never
got it to work right.  I am using an amd 64.

After Jim fantastic gift, I am now running 7.10 and it works great.
The repositories are not working yet though, and i can not get a
restricted driver to download...
