I work currently for a two letter, printer associated, acronym. The PC on my desktop came with Windows XP pre-installed on it, and MS Office 2003 or whatever. Thanks to the liveCD of gParted I was able to shrink the ntfs partition mit no trouble. Make sure you read a guide on this if you're feeling adventureful.
With the free space I put Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) on it. Since nearly everyone else in the office are using Outlook to connect to the MS Exchange server, I found I needed an equivalent. Evolution, an email client on Dapper should have done the trick. Sadly it is amazingly unstable for free open source software. I had been seeing a lot of people recommending the next version of Evolution.
The next version of Evolution is provided on the next version of Ubuntu, 6.10 (Edgy Eft.) So since this next version goes stable on the 26th October, I thought I'd bite the bullet and upgrade now. This went less than super smooth. See this forum post. However, (my english teacher would kill me for that,) after following fix instructions it all seems pretty damn stable.
Hats off to Edgy!

Missing the CU at aber
Maybe someone in the CU will read this.
I've had quite a strengthening experience in relying on God for help and support. Bringing me into the church family in Galway. I now have brothers and sisters who are a strong support in place of my family and friends back in the UK.
Jesus is my Rock. He never fails and never leaves me, especially when he is teaching me through trials and struggles. The lesson he seems to have focused me on is spending time with people, and not being so task oriented. "As long as it takes." This is a good phrase to describe how much time we should spend with those who haven't yet claimed their salvation.
Jesus is holding out the gift of eternal life with open arms. Revelation 22:17 -
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
Nobody is excluded.
Jesus is trying to remove my stubborn and selfish nature, so that I will spend time with the people he loves.
I hope that if you do know the freedom to fight against sin, that you will know the value of spending time with people. More importantly, if you do not know this freedom from the shackles that sin can keep us in, I hope that Jesus would send a person to spend time with you, to be a light in darkness.
