This is a follow-up on my e17 on Ubuntu Hardy walkthrough, updated for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. The reason for a separate walk-through, as opposed to updating the old one, is that I want to keep the Hardy-instructions, in case someone wants or needs to use that version of Ubuntu.

Also, this edition of the walk-through concentrates on e17 only, and does not confuse by first telling how to set up a quad-head :P
