Hi everyone,
Really, it's a no-lose proposition.If they embrace OS, they gain potentially
loads of geek goodwill, and if they don't, they won't lose any ... unless to
the other side if they embrace OS.
So any sensible politician ... Oh, right.
And also, I imagine M$ lobby *very* hard against that kind of thing.

Can you log in at all?
If you can, fire up a root terminal and
You're in a root shell, you say?
If so you just need to "cat /etc/passwd" and you should find your
username there... if you then don't know the password use "passwd
" to set it to something new.

The PDF downloadable Ubuntu Pocket guide is some 170 pages, so a long print
job, content is for newbies and experts alike, so I agree, a "must" for any LUG
"libraries".
Lets hope that 2009 sees dealerships offering Ubuntu, preloaded, on thier

maybe Ubuntu. But there should n

what I can dig out.
The proposals for more open standards and a more modular approach to
government IT projects seems sound to me.
