Just to rectify the Artwork problem, I made a quick little temporary 
design, it doesn't have the Ubuntu logo on it, but it does have the 
Computer icon, and some friendly text, and has the correct

the good work! Think we could have some screenshots we could share with 
the art team to show this off?
