[ale] Ubuntu recommendations

[Jim Kinney]

yay beta software!

The software updater runs on startup, checks for updates and exits if
nothing needed. given that it's beta stuff you're running, there will be
updates :-)

let it finish or tell it to do less.

There is a database that backs rpms so the system will do a lock to prevent
corruption. All of the rpm/yum package tools honor that lock (as they
should).

I will wait for an actual install of F15 for about 2 months after release.
For now it's nothing but vm's.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
