[ubuntu-uk] PCMCIA USB 2.0 Adaptors

2010-04-18 Thread Jon Reynolds

2010-04-18 Thread Alan Pope
I just saw on my CD shelf that I have a few extra Ubuntu CDs and thought OggCamp might be a good place to get together and swap CDs with other collectors. I've added it to the OggCamp ideas wiki. http://ideas.oggcamp.org/activities#cd-collector-swap-shop So if you're a collector of old releases
