Do the gurus ever stop to sleep, go to work, etc?

Good stuff as usual I'm sure.

That is a very thorough changelog! Good work to the crew who knows how to do all that programming!

Damnit, now I have to rerig my network connection to get 2.2.4......

cadmonkey,

I just go to this URL and download the .deb ( emc2_2.2.4_i386.deb), put it on a thumb drive, take it out to the shop machine, copy it to the desktop and double click it.
