Hi guys, I'm a new user of Ubuntu (I was a Puppy Linux user for a while, and Red Hat a long time ago), and have been impressed with it. Anyway, just to let people know that the new issue of Linux Format has Xubuntu 7.10 on the DVD, if you: 1) Prefer the XFCE window manager and 2) Don't want to download the ISO from the Xubuntu site Thanks, Keith -- Keith Cleaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
