Rebel Zero (dot com)

I spent the evening relocating a local mirror of Ubuntu’s Hardy and Intrepid repository from one machine to another. When I was finished, I went about updating the sources.list files on the various computers when I encountered a GPG error. One of the four Launchpad PPA repos I follow added a signature and I didn’t have the public key in which to verify it.

Every now and then, I find I need to reset the Gnome desktop environment. I’ve either hacked it beyond repair, come across an instability with an old home directory on a new machine, or would just like to start with a “fresh template” in which to build another masterpiece. Whatever the case, it’s easier than it sounds.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron reaches 8.04.2

Got rid of the Adbrite network.

Ubuntu’s numerous releases enjoy both life and death throughout the year. Now that it’s 2009, we look forward to six milestones for five different versions.
