User1: Hmm... 'A newer build of the Ubuntu maverick server image is available. It is named 'release' and has build serial '20101225'.' What would I do with this information?
User2: User1 :) boot it next time you want a maverick server on ec2 ?
User1: Yes, I do want a maverick server still... so I should reboot? Sorry, not clear on your phasing
User2: User1 no no
User2: User1 if you're already running an ebs server on ec2 .. dist-upgrade will upgrade it ..
User1: ah
User2: if you're planning on launching a new box, use the new ami to skip the updates
User1: Sorry, only dist update messages I saw were in update manager before ;)
User2: User1 apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
User1: yup
 * kim0 goes to sleep :)
User1: thanks for your help.

User4: who posts in the twitter @ubuntucloud?
User4: User2 ^^
User2: nijaba and me
User4: User2 who did the last post about hadoop?
User5: User4 I did
User5: User4 and you can post too if you feel like it
User4: User5 howdy! I had a classmate who happened to work at my school (FIU) and they were looking to deploy Hadoop
User4: User5 so I was wondering, I can email him to see if they actually did, and if so, to get in touch with you?
User4: (in Ubuntu of course)
User5: User4 might be easier if it was someone in the US, but I'll let you know based on the responses I get.  Thanks for the suggestion!
User4: User5 yes my school where I studied my MS is here Miami :)
User4: www.fiu.edu, I'll ask him first and then will let you know
User5: User4 ah, cool
User5: User4 you are based in Miami? My bad then :P
User4: User5 yeah! :)
