[wplug] second call for interest in Ubuntu Jaunty release party

[Patrick Wagstrom]

Hi Sara,

One of the nice things about Ubuntu is that it makes upgrading to a new
version relatively painless, so if you're itching to try out Ubuntu right
now, I recommend trying out Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (aka 08.10).   When the
next version is released, it's usually just a matter of dropping in the CD
and the upgrade happens automagically.

If you need some help installing the software, WPLUG runs installfests
several times a year.  These events are "bring your own computer" style
events.  You bring the computer, we help you get everything going on it.
I'm not certain when the next installfest is, however.
