[penguicon-general] Ubuntu help!

[LadySarah]

Yeah!  :)  I'm hopeful to have some help with this later today so I'm not
completely banging my head against a wall on it trying to figure out how to
configure the wireless and everything since I didn't do any of that the
first time and don't really know how to do it in Windows let alone anything
else.

Thanks!  :)
