This looks Very interesting.
Funny that promox runs things as 10.04. My other daughter had 
insurmountable difficulty with 10.12 thru to Precise and went back to 
10.04. Has not complained even once. Her Dell 1545 slugs along no problems.

What's the thinking on 10.04 being at or near end of life... does it 
matter from a security aspect?
