Hey- check this out!  I just checked and it looks like the XBOX repair has been completed and it’s in the process of being shipped back.  It’s still too early to see any tracking information but hopefully the box will arive before Christmas!!

Well, I have Ubuntu running pretty well on my Dell XPS m1210 but I do have one thing happening that I haven’t been able to resolve yet. I can’t seem to play DVD movies. It’s not the player because I can read the disk and copy files from the disks, but when attempting to play the DVD I get a “seek failed” error.
