It'll take some getting used to not to have Doug Strong's chalice up there. I was convinced that the Vortex at the beginning of the SLT was the Eye of Sauron.

I'm sure that's right. I have the Medibuntu repository active at home and work, but only have the Flash installed at work, so I was going to compare and see what worked, what could be added etc. Thanks for IDing <code>ubuntu-restricted-extras</code>. (Strike that; I do have <code>ubuntu-restricted-extras</code> installed at work 'cause that's the easy way to install Flash.) From the name of that software package and the context of the liminality of the Medibuntu software repository, unfamiliar readers can correctly intuit that Medibuntu is kinda like a home liquor cabinet. Full of things you don't need, probably aren't good for you, don't quite fit in with your ethics, but may still want and are gathered together in one place. Ubuntu Linux users have to opt-in to Medibuntu and some members of the community don't approve. Or perhaps that metaphor's too extended. Does wanting Ogg streaming media make me a teetotaler? @Steve.
