-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I thought about this a bit and while I wanted to give my mum the latest bling of jaunty I honestly don't think she will care that much.
So 8.10 it will be - at some stage she will need to upgrade to a new release... maybe to 9.10? I will make sure here home is on a separate partition and I set up some backup routine for her... maybe simply a dropbox 'mirror'. Regarding the ISP, yes I'd agree that the free quota for the updates is very cool. But last time I checked Internode or iinet where either pricey to change to or not available where I live (the exchanges around me have all already the faster DSL only Narrabeen not...)
