[LUGSB] Ubuntu & airnet

[Michael G Florea]

The current stance is that TLT does not support Linux in anyway, with that said, its about time I just toss up documentation online on the LUGSB site since it seems that it can really help others out.

BTW, networking issues such as AirNet/ResNet really falls under DoIT.  They used to have some documentation for AirNet with Ubuntu but it seems to be gone now.

Take care,
Michael Florea
LUGSB President
