Synopsis:<br>
-- The Desirable Distro Discussion will kick off with a<br>
brief, informal presentation on the fabulous features<br>
and faulted frailties of the latest Ubuntu 10.04 LTS<br>
release, including some comparisons to the Linux MINT<br>
Ubuntu derivative distro. From there we will open the<br>
mic, the podium and the projector to anyone wishing<br>
to display or discuss their own preferences in Linux<br>
distributions and software bundles. Demonstrations<br>
of alternative desktops, window managers, widgets<br>
and system extensions will also be welcome.<br>

ALE Event Coordinator (etc) Aaron Ruscetta will<br>
present the introductory Ubuntu evaluations and<br>
serve as moderator for the discussions.<br>
<br>
We will be meeting at our usual venue, Emory Law School,<br>
