If you type 'script' in a terminal, everything you type and everything 
the terminal outputs will be placed in a file called 'typescript'.  To 
finish the session, you need to press Ctrl+D.

I don't know - I gave up on dual booting a long time ago.  Too much 
trouble for my taste.  But, then again, I have more than one machine in 
my office so I guess I live in the lap of luxury.

Ubuntu Feisty regularly (just about every day) has updates available. 
For the past several months, every time a development release of GNOME 
was available, Ubuntu would have updates available usually within a day 
or two.  At the beginning of a cycle, the development releases of GNOME 
come out about every month, but then come out about every two weeks 
towards the end.

Probably.  :-(  Setting up system administration access under GNOME can 
still be struggle.  We try to outline some of it here, and it tends to 
work, but always without problems:
