Good for you, Charlie!

I just this morning sent a note to Jack KB9LEB asking if he'd been keeping 
up with all the Linux notes I've been getting in the past two weeks.  I 
appreciate you getting back in the grove - I now have two different laptops 
that I want to try the next LINUX FPAC on - and can start that whenever you 
have the ISO ready.

Oppsss.. will have to wait until N3PPC gets back from the Dayton Hamvention!
