I know you said that you're having trouble making it to the meetings,
but if you can make it to the December 13th meeting, we'd love to have
you on the panel to cover Ubuntu.  No pressure :)  Maybe we could even
get you some extra credit for that speech class...

I thought your initial review very well-written and covered exactly the
things that people would like to know about a distro. So, well done :)

On a related note, Kyle realized that he won't be available to
participate in the panel, leaving Debian and Debian derivatives
completely unrepresented.  That's a huge shame!  If anyone would like to
step up, please visit:

And help us hash everything out.

Oh, and thanks to Bob Blick for volunteering to cover SuSE!
