I thought that I would introduce some of the issues I was having with Linux MCE
before tonights meeting.

Issue 1:  I am currently using a Nvidia 8600 video card.  the MCE/Kubuntu (Linux
MCE sits on top of kubuntu)repositories don't use the latest drivers.  Normally
I would use Envy to load the latest drivers for Nvidia but MCE takes over all
updates and install.  Help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Issue 2: Linux MCE does not see my router (I am bringing it too)as a result it
assigns an IP address of 127.0.0.1.

Other than those two issues Linux MCE look great.

Also I will bring my laptop so if anyone wants to burn the DVD bring a DVD-R. 
Otherwise its about a 2-3 hour download at the best of times.

see yo all tonight
Todd
