• Linux Students Alert! - Hold off on the Week 2 Non-LabSim Assignment - Access Repositories, Run Updates, Install Drivers, Install Utilities, Personalize your Desktop and other Optimizations  until I update it for Ubuntu 11. The assignment instructions were designed for Ubuntu 10.10 from last year. The CompizConfig does not work correctly in Ubuntu 11 with the Unity desktop.
  The Desktop Cube Effect may hose your desktop in Ubuntu 11.10.
  I am working on a video tutorial that covers and expands on what we did last Thursday night in the lab!
