15 December 2007 Ubuntu Toronto Meeting
Thu, 12/20/2007 - 18:34 — Kim KingThe staff at the Linux Cafe had to move other patrons around to accommodate the influx of Ubuntu Toronto members. We had representation from Brazil, via Hamilton, Mississauga, Brampton, Keswick, Port Perry, Oshawa, several from Scarborough, a few from Toronto and one soul who ventured three blocks from his home and got his WiFi fixed as a reward for braving the wintry blast.
If weather was a factor it didn't seem to be a problem for those who were from the outskirts of the Greater Toronto Area. There was some effective use of public transit and carpooling, which saved the environment . I asked how most people found out about the meeting and most had heard about the meeting on this Ubuntu.ca-mail list.

The Ubuntu System Recovery Tool
Sun, 03/04/2007 - 21:04 — Kim KingWhat do you do when you need to return things to the original settings. Thats when you need to have your various passwords, dial-up numbers, mail server addresses, email addresses, hardware specifications, serial number, and other information handy. But what if you've either forgotten or misplaced this information.
If you forget it, don't sweat it—pull out your Ubuntu Canada System Recovery Tool instead.
To make your Ubuntu Experience a little easier, we created this little form for you (or your Ubuntu/Linux Mentor) to enter all that easy-to-forget information once, and then stow it safely away should you ever need it. Just print document located at System Recovery Tool fill out the fields with your information, and store it in a safe and secure place.
