Ubuntu Illinois / Chicago member Freddy Martinez had given me some brief pointers on filing bugs during one of our more recent Ubuntu-Chicago loco meetings, but my involvement with the ISO testing has really started to give me a taste for what bug reporting and triaging involves.

After Herd 5′s release, I’ve been playing catch up with other parts of my life.

I went through a bit of trouble installing Xubuntu Feisty Fawn onto my Thinkpad t22 laptop today. The install went off without a hitch onto my desktop PC, but I got one “corrupt package” error after another during the extraction of the base installation files onto the laptop.
