Our release dates so far have been: 16.07.08, 03.07.08, 26.06.08, 03.06.08, 27.05.08, 07.05.08, 23.04.08, 07.04.08, 24.03.08, 11.03.08. I have a feeling in my water that the next episode is imminent.

The whole thing feels very cheap and plasticky. The one I tried had a tweaked ubuntu, with access to most of the things in the settings menu removed. It had Wine and Virtualbox installed, although I think that virtualisation would be too demanding for the slothful via Processor.

Also only has one option for 3G at the moment (Orange) where as the free Vista Laptop has a choice of 5 providers.

[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu sbs server
I have finished a small script which installs all the necessary software needed as an sbs replacement on a ubuntu server, currently it is using files which have to be changed manually doing a find and replace, however I am hoping to do this as part of the install script and also scripts for adding users and windows group policy editing, im not sure how hard the latter will be though.
