Intro and a question

[Jude DaShiell]

If Milos has an android device or an iPad or iPhone the be my eyes app
once installed can get him some sighted help.  I've tried booting both
ubuntu and ubuntu-mate on a machine here after the restart dialog came
up and can't get either to boot.  Or at least that's the way this seems
now.  A little later today I'm going to get some sighted help and find
out what's really happening and I'll be back with that information.  The
machine here has 1 gig of memory and earlier versions of ubuntu and
vinux worked on it in the past.  The hard drive did come out of the
computer warm to the touch so maybe letting the hard drive cool off will
help matters.
