Just got the distribution upgrade notice in Update Manager today. All
download files are available now. I usually download one of the
installation CDs or DVDs instead of upgrading online.
I use this mirror:

(Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, IL)
I managed to get the whole 64-bit trial version CD before I could finish
pulling together this announcement, getting about 90% my full
capability, up to 1.3 MB/sec over 12 mb/sec vdsl.
Don't forget to use bit torrent if your subscription's monthly data
quota isn't capped. i.e., AT&T Uverse and AT&T DSL.
Download also available , probably really slow for now (if a connection
can even be made), at:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
Main web site provides download links to many more download options

Multi-list message:
Can CCCKC help out KCLUG with a presence at Maker Faire? I know there were
plans to make and give out CDs of software. Maybe we could bring both
groups together to help with the software side of the CCCKC booth or
somehing?

Multiple booths of associated groups is a good idea. Better than a large
variety of groups trying to work in one booth. The guys I mentioned would
be good to contact in any case. They can help with questions and smooth out
any needs. It'll help the booth to have sympathetic people working in the
Faire.

Interesting little project that came across the Amahi IRC chat room... Runs
Debian Linux:
http://www.tricorderproject.org/tricorder-mark2.html
I read through the Mark 2 page and found a lot of interesting detail on the
founder's thoughts and concerns on making this a viable product.
