[Systers-dev] Thank you!!! + windows-centric question

[Kathy Richardson]

Hi Sruthi,

Are you in irc?  This sounds like something that would be useful to chat 
about.
Freenode.net #systers-dev

Since I don't have a base ubunto install on my real home network, I am 
only giving you some possible pointers.   Assuming that your 9.10 
installation works for mail and other network operations, I would look 
in the base machine files that need reconfiguring in the VDI image.  I'd 
start with  /etc/mailname.

This is a good question.  We like folks to send to the whole systers-dev 
list so that everyone can see what issues they might encounter and it 
generally helps the whole community.  So I'm replying to the whole 
community.  And it would be useful to tell everyone when you have it set up.
