[SlugLUG] New Install report

[Eric Carter]

I installed Ubuntu a week or so ago and so far everything is going
fairly well. I have a few services to setup still (svn and imap among
others) and I've got some issues with config files still (korganizer's
appointments are all 14 hours early!) but so far it's pretty sweet. I
really like all the detailed documentation on Ubuntu. It seems like most
things are copy and paste guides and the only issue's I've had so far
was getting a few things to run as services or load on startup.

One curiosity that I've noted, which has become a question for other
Ubuntu users: Friday Ubuntu asked me to reboot my computer to apply a
security update. How often does this happen? Is this only for kernel
updates? Or do other packages ask for a restart too? I am discontent
with the idea of having to restart. :P ( still haven't done it and it's
monday already).
