I've said it before and I'll say it again.... We should get a wiki
going! Everyone can edit, its searchable, its awsome.<br>
<br>
I can't live without my private wiki.. Keep my notes in there, links,
my own howto's compiled from others.<br>

<p>I've been very lucky with my look at Ubuntu..... :-(<br>

I was a bit surprised.<br>

<p>wow, I've never had a display problem with ubuntu, maybe you
should try the expert setup, maybe ol' breezy is just seeing your card
wrong. </p>
