[rescue] Blade 100

[Brian Howe]

I've been playing with Ubuntu, and just did an upgrade from the 5.10
to 6.06version of the distro. I have to say it is the easiest and
cleanest
installation that I have ever dealt with. YMMV of course. Of course I'm not
using any of them new-fangled LCD displays :) Them's too purty fer me.

Trying to get FreeBSD and xorg to work together on an U2 system has been a
nightmare.
