Higher than I got, but I wasn't really trying.

Not going to be around much tonight, it seems. Made the mistake of kicking off a massive general "system upgrade" before I left for work this morning. Came back to find it hung on installing Java Runtime Environment 5 (d'oh! I'd encountered that before and forgot), and aborting out left the O/S in a mode where it wouldn't boot into the GUI interface.

So for now I'm backing up user directories onto the house server, in preparation for a new install.

May reload Kubuntu Linux 6.10 ("Edgy Eft") tonight, and/or start the bittorrent download of Kubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") for an install tomorrow. Either way, it's a few hours I was going to spend on something else.

At least I found a Xubuntu 7.04 LiveCD that let me get online... (before I finally located the Kubuntu 6.10 CD).

My joy at having my dSLR camera back working is diminished a bit... but not much because I was planning to upgrade anyway.

I know this is off topic(LOL in this thread), but are you a Canon person by any chance?

I have a digital rebel XT that I use for work with a variety of lenses...and I'm thinking of getting a Dslr for my personal use to replace my hybrid KM-Z6...and looking at maybe the 30d. Curious as to opinions.
