[GRLUG] Distro's - was GRLUG test comment

[Benjamin Flanders]

I downloaded the kubuntu virtual appliance and this runs great on both
the server and the player.  The only issue I had with vmware was
trying to install slackware on the free server product.  I had a weird
"double enter" issue and Installing was almost impossible because
hitting enter would register two enters.  I eventually did something
with the vmware bios and slowed the keyboard down.

Anyway ...

Topher, how long ago was your vmware ordeal?  I don't remember this. 
Ron, I would try it anyway, if you feel frisky, and give us all some
feedback.  Maybe the issue has been fixed.  It's only a few gigs and
maybe a half hour.
