	There are people who are volunteering their time to make the experience
of upgrading your Ubuntu a pleasure. If you start trying to d/l a file
for Hardy and then try to make it work on Jaunty your in for BIG TROUBLE!

	Just join the others of us who get updates for the version we are using
and are VERY HAPPY.
