Re: gnome journalism

["Ken VanDine" <ken vandine org>]

Richard, welcome!  I would recommend playing with the LiveCD, or even
better the VMWare image.  You could run that while still getting work
done on windows or OSX.  You can get them from
http://torrent.gnome.org.  I am the maintainer of those, so definately
let me know if you have any questions.

And thanks for volunteering!
