• We mistakenly refer to the Linux Remote Desktop Viewer as Remote Desktop Client (RDC). Apologies to the Windows folks on this.
• My software tip mistakenly identified as Super Ubuntu the software that allows you to run Ubuntu from within Windows without a VM. The actual software is Portable Ubuntu. Super Ubuntu is a standard distribution of Ubuntu 8.10 that is pre-configured with OpenOffice 3 and lots of non-free extras for better real world support. Apologies to Claudio César Sánchez Tejeda of Portable Ubuntu, and apologies to the developers of Super Ubuntu.
