Sam passed out copies of 5.04 at the meeting. I have yet to try the
Live CD for 5.04. The Live CD for the last release,...that Same gave me
(thanks Sam :)), is pretty nice. However it does not have xmms and 
that pos rhythmbox would not play a shoutcast stream :( My only other
issue with the live cd was that I found it hard to get into single user
mode with no X , no services ...etc.. but , I could of just been having
a *moment* the one time I tried for single user mode :)

 Anyway , if anyone wants the latest Ubuntu install/Live cds come to the
meetings , Sam is always trying to force them on people :D

Thanks Sam,
