[Ubuntu PA] NTR Laptop Project: Now the fun begins!!

[Kevin Valentine]

I can't come up with an official date to meet just yet.  I'm basically
on-call with my clients for at least the next two weeks.  In the mean
time, we still have to those Dells sitting on the shelf for anyone that
wants to chop them up ;-)

For you more adventurous types, feel free to go to NTR and dive right
in.  I believe Norm is there from 2pm until closing on week days.  If
he's not there, just ask for Stan or Ayende.  Tell them you came to work
on the Linux laptops.  If those laptops aren't your cup of tea, try
sorting through the power supplies or digging through our stash of
laptops for usable hard drives.  One of our biggest concerns now are
those two items.
