Re: Ubuntu!
Anyone take the plunge and upgrade to 10.10? I upgraded all our machines and I love it! Xubuntu 10.10 is lightening fast on my wife's laptop. Can't beat it!

Re: Beginner Espresso setup
My 2 cents is spend the money on a good enough grinder $200-600 (refurbed Mazzer Super Jolly, new Macap M4 or Mazzer Mini) so you'll never need to upgrade and buy a refurbished espresso machine with...

PCLOS 2009 is really sweet. Ran it under virtual box for a while to play around with it. I might have to try to partition some space off and run it full blown for a while!
