[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu 11.10

[Bob Jonkman]

I'm just hoping the heavy desktop versions continue to be developed.  I 
fear a trend that all desktops will converge on a tablet friendly 
interface, forgetting about us mouse and keyboard jockeys.

Just out of curiosity, what distribution/desktop combination will KW 
Free School be using for their Linux classes?

--Bob, who wouldn't recognize a flame war if it singed his eyebrows.
