I just wanted to take a minute write down a quick "thank you" to everyone in the Ubuntu world. Not to date myself, but as a person who has been using a PC since my Navy days when I built a Timex Sinclair ZX81, it is fair to say that I have used my share of hardware, and operating systems. Anyway, as my company suspended my MSDN license 3 years ago, I was left without new software to test with, or use. So I started tinkering with Linux but since I absolutely suck at non GUI operating systems, I gave up at first. However, something was drawing me back to it, and I kept experimenting with different flavors, SuSe, Knoppix, Lindows, Red Hat and the versions that run inside of XP like Pen Linux. Their was something that always did not work, and it was usually something important like wireless, or printing, whatever. Lets say I blew up a great deal of installations screwing around. So I was browsing through my TechDirt, and stumbled upon a story about Ubuntu 8.04 Beta. It said "it installs seamlessly inside of Windows", so I figured ok, let me try to break another one. I installed it, and by the grace of God almost everything worked... I could not VPN into my office Cisco VPN which is very important, or the most imortant thing "Listen to my Sirius Satelite Internet stream".  I looked around the blogs, and managed to figure out the VPN thing, and after a little more poking I managed to find Sipie for my Sirius...  I am one happy camper...  And go figure, I had to do it in a terminal, and it did not hurt. In about 20 minutes "viola" everything was working, and I was doing my Friday night changes remotely, and listening to ALTNATION on Sirius. I could not have done this miracle without the help from the community simply because you people care "though most of you would not admit it"... Thanks to everyone for creating, and supporting this magical operating system!
