[GLLUG] Fluxbuntu in 24

[Chris Chan]

I did a little website work on the Fluxbuntu site back in April then got
caught up in school. I see they've totally overhauled the site since I made
my contribs. They seem to be a larger project now, which is always a good
thing. I just joined their IRC channel on freenode, it has 43 members. Back
when I was doing work on the site, the only had like 10 users in the
channel.

I hope that they'll continue Fluxbuntu development on the six-month release
schedule. Seems a vast undertaking to move all the way from developing in
Dapper to Gutsy.
