Thread: Email Notification

I received a notification email of a response to a thread I started and the reply has not been posted within the thread while I post this, the email being timed at 8:59. This is not the first time I have noticed this behaviour, what gives. The thread is computers>Linux, my post No. 14 is still the last in the thread the email is as follows...

Dear Mini,

asg has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Linux Query - in the COMPUTERS forum of Woodwork Forums.

This thread is located at:

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
Ubuntu put out a release every 6 months. The current release is 7.10 (Oct 2007 - gutsy gibbon). In about 4 weeks time the 8.04 (Apr 2008 - hardy herron) version will be released. If you can wait, the 8.04 version will probably be better.

Start with the ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso (http://ftp.iinet.net.au/linux/ubuntu...sktop-i386.iso) version. This has a "live boot" option so you can boot from the CD and check it out before installing.

If your installation fails, which can sometimes happen because of hardware issues, then fall back to the ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso (http://ftp.iinet.net.au/linux/ubuntu...rnate-i386.iso) version which makes fewer assumptions about your hardware. This alternate version doesn't have the "live boot" option however.

BTW, the first site you looked at was for updates. Ubuntu has a package manager that will download and install new packages and updates for you. If you configure your system to download from that location rather from the default ubuntu server then you won't be using your download quota for updates.

Good luck!
Andrew
