I don't have anyone beating down the door with a job offer, so I presume I
will be free to attend as well. I will most likely bring my 'main' box, as
my Mythbox has been reduced to near-useless by the Mythbuntu software. I
have now tried two other distros besides Mythbuntu 8.10, and have reached
the conclusion that something is seriously borked with Myth-anything
presently.
If anyone comes across an ISO or disc containing the amd64 image of
Mythbuntu 7.04 or 7.10, I would appreciate it, as that software was the
last version where things pretty much worked. Sadly, it is no longer on
the mirror servers, as it is no longer supported.
I figure that I can show off what an average joe does with Ubuntu on my
main box, which may be of interest.
Bob - in the case of burning cds, I wouldn't burn more than 25 or so, as
in April there will be a new version. If you are thinking of doing more
than 25, I would probably do 8.04 discs, as this is the latest LTS version.
Any other ideas/suggestions?
