[olug] Introductory Classes

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Jay: thanks.

I think I tried 12.04/ froze on boot, reburned the disc, froze on boot,
tried an alternate cd, froze on boot, so I threw in the towel and installed
off my 10.04 disc and upgraded it to 1204.  I've got a couple laptops, Dell
600m's that are still serviceable for web/email.  Had grown accustomed to
throwing 10.04 + edubuntu on just about any cast-off computer and then
giving them away.

Since 10.04 is going eol and 12.04 can be a dog on older h/w (usually video
and wm) continuing do the same is getting harder.  More apt to trash the
donated hardware instead of getting another couple of years out of it.   ;(
