[Discuss] Ubuntu 6.06 release party in Victoria

[Hans Oeste]

Soundmodem, xastir and a host of  other things.  Needless to say I was a bit
annoyed.  Not to say that everything from the amateur category wouldnt load
but quite a large quantity wouldn't.
 
I also tried to load gtk libraries and a few other things and ran into
difficulty.  It tried to tell me that they were obsolete and that the
packages they pointed to we not available or some such thing.  I fought with
it for a while and finally gave up.  Installed ubuntu and then added kde to
the mix.  Tried to load the newest version and killed soundmodem.  I don't
have a TNC so the sondmodem has to work.  That really annoyed me. 
Reinstalled again.  Sheesh.  But I do like my ubuntu/kubuntu.
