I wanted to highlight a couple of things. One, the option in the Ubuntu installer to only install Free Software. Second, I talk a little about discussing bugs with the Ubuntu Desktop team.
Everyone loves the sound of the class IBM Model M keyboard. Modern laptops don't have the rich, beautifully mechanical tones of the Model M. However, the "bucklespring" application can fix that for you!
