		<description><![CDATA[I found this image in a collection of Yahoo! News Photos:

Apparently, this unfortunate photo was taken during a speech at the 2007 &#8220;Take Back America&#8221; conference in Washington, June 20, 2007.
Original source of the image is Reuters, but the Yahoo! link is here.

This isn&#8217;t by accident nor is it an oversight, but is due to licensing and legalities.  There are tons of Ubuntu Linux users, though, that have gotten them to work.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the annoying things right out of the box is that the default screen resolution (1440&#215;900) is not automatically detected.  Instead, Ubuntu and Xwindows shows 1024&#215;768 &#8212; which on this screen looks horrible on a widescreen LCD.  Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed.
Open the terminal and run the following command:

Looking Downtown
