Meanwhile I've confirmed that my faster machine (and the one with actual
spare disk space) can't install openjdk7 for the android open source
project build because system76 shipped it to me with ubuntu 13.04 which
was _not_ an LTS release and I left it too long and can't ugprade it to
anything newer because ubuntu took down the servers.

No really: apt-get update gives me piles of:

Err http://security.ubuntu.com raring-security/main Sources
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]

I thought you could still upgrade to the next LTS distro release even
when they stopped offering new packages (I mean why _couldn't_ you?),
but no. I have to reformat the box. (Which has all my email accounts and
filters set up on it, so if I do that I probably lose access to email
for a couple days.)

So happy with Canonical. So happy with System76. The enthusiasm is just
radiating off me in waves right now.
