Like all animals they can be good and bad, just some people have very twisted concepts of that and get right pissed when they're attacked.

Dear Aunt Marjorie,
Having a lovely time in Australia, Uluru was very pretty, and Gladys and I spent a wonderful afternoon patting dead kangeroos. Hope you are all well, see you in two weeks,
lots of love,

it's just a bit of a frustration at the moment -- also I've just tried to SSH into it from work and that's not fucking working any more either.

ubuntu is fairly simple. but you still need to set it up properly (yes those dirty dirty term windows rather than the nice happy guis)

I meet these sometimes in the forest on the way to work. A work colleague saw them once and came into work exclaiming he'd seen "funky goats with Princess Leia hairdos".
