 Hi Jim --

I have posted this message from Firefox running under Ubuntu 12.04 TLS
Hyper-V VM running under Win8 Prof.
I have got installed Ubuntu VM in about 20 minutes.
Not sure what should I do/check next.
I will probably check in the coming days what I can do/develop on Ubuntu
using MonoDroid - .NET/C#

Thank you.
