Ok so I’m all jazzed up about Wifi consistently working on my Gateway Laptop but I have noticed some odd behavior with the wifi connection. When the laptop is connected to the network via the etherenet cable and the wifi is running, the downstream for the wifi card is active and the upstream for the ethernet card is active.

Wifi pulling data from the internet.
Ethernet pushing data to the internet.

Does that make any sense?

This is an update to my previous post Installing Xubuntu 6.06 on a Gateway Laptop.

Summary
Xubuntu 7.04 is a derivative from the popular Ubuntu Linux distro with the difference being Xubuntu uses the Xfce Window Manager instead of Gnome or KDE. Xfce is a light weight Open Source window manager that is fast and efficient which makes Xubuntu ideal for lower end computers. Or if you want a super fast system try Xubuntu on a newer system like a my Gateway MX6440 Laptop (1.8Ghz Turion64 with a gig of RAM) and you’ll be amazed at how fast Linux can run.

A) I just found an Xubuntu mirror with the Torrents here and a Kubuntu mirror here

B) There is something wrong with my WordPress Install that won’t let me edit posts>:\

Please leave your Torrent client running to help spread the files.

At of 5AM I saw that the main server had the BitTorrent files ready to be downloaded bit not the ISO’s.
I have check around for the mirrors for Kubuntu and Xubuntu but I haven’t seen any 7.04 files yet.
