Hey Scott! Long time no see (or read).
Thanks for the info. Kubuntu had an update before I even read about it, maybe the same day that it appeared in the media. The update came through the Ubuntu channel, of course. I might save the reading material for later as I"m pretty involved in the election and (surprisingly perhaps) I don't want to do anything that actually requires thinking in my free time. :-)
You did remind me to update the PLUG server although there isn't any other users other than me. Still sounds scary enough that I won't be able to sleep without fixing it.
Don't be a stranger - we miss your insights here.
