What did you learn today or this week that you're most excited about?
I learned about xUbuntu which is kind of like xfce and Ubuntu mixed together. The Weather Machine application is having issues connecting to the weather server from which it pulls the information for the weather device going to read the manual and see if I can bring it back up.

Installed xUbuntu, created local admin account and got networked users to log in via ldap. Working on getting the nfs drives to mount and not cause the admin account to be unable to log in by doing so.

Who did you help? How did you help them?
Helped Tyler with the xUbuntu image. Neal has having issues using asr restore to re-image the iMacs with the lion image. When using asr restore he was using the full path of the target disk image that was on the external not the mounted drive in /dev/ showed him we changed it and its working now.

What major tasks did you accomplish/complete this week?
Cleaned out the spam from webmaster queue. The iMac workstation Shower was having issues powering on. Tried booting Shower and it would not boot properly. Changed out the power cable on Shower it is working now. Fixed a cable issue one of the iMacs were having that caused a loss in network connectivity. Updated the iMacs with the latest apple updates in the apprentice lab. Windows XP machine had 6 system updates I checked them and preformed the install.
