[olug] xubuntu 10.10 - anyone tried it yet?

[DYNATRON tech]

just works. i use the gui for install, then i take the monitor away.

ssh for all interactions from that point.

my apache "box" is just a motherboard screwed to a sheet of plywood. my vpn
box is a gutted vcr sitting on a shelf in a storage room (
http://slauce.com/log/html/200906290330.html). its been upgraded with a fan
and cpu since that blog post.
