Still Not Available? (Re: [GLLUG] Fluxbuntu in 24)

[Karl Schuttler]

Yeah, I was up a greater portion of the night waiting for it to be uploaded.

I think we are getting the poop end of the stick.

I've been in the irc room since the site went live...apparently the
timer was set to the wrong time zone, so it was a day earlier than it
should have.

I've been waiting for this release pretty hardcore, so I'll notify the
list when it is finally up.
