Release date is close, I am about to get tied up with 10.04 launch, it'd
just be nice to point people over to a wiki page and not my own personal
area, which was 'not so good an idea'?
I'd really like to be able to (and so would others from the support people)
have a set of "How To's"
For example after the "We will not support dual screens" that is now there
in preferences, If someone would be kind enough to fill that one in, I have
a large gaping hole on mine, that was in my  "Things you can do that are
totally unsupported"
Can we link wiki pages to screen casts ?

I'm having a chat with a couple of people regarding how to make a minimal
iso with lubuntu on, but with the onset of 10.04 release they're a bit busy.

Regards,

Phill.
