Re: Ubuntu alternative for RPG programmer

I agree it sounds like a grub issue.  I tried to use a LiveCD to upgrade but
that didn't work (that also got hung up, and after waiting for 15 minutes
for ANYTHING to happen I just canceled it)

I haven't tried Barry for about 9 months probably.

For an email client I used to use Thunderbird, but it has a bug in it if you
paste from tn5250j it will bomb the app and it won't allow you to restart it
for a couple minutes.  Being I cut and paste a lot that was a huge issue.
Now I use Outlook 2007 in a VirtualBox Windowx XP Pro instance.
