Mike,

I feel your pain, sorry to hear that you have had problems upgrading.
However the xubuntu boxes should be able to keep up with HD video, they
aren't running only with Wifi are they?

Just a heads up that if you don't have a backup of the database for 0.25,
you won't be able to downgrade because a 0.25 backend won't be able to read
a 0.27 database. There were pretty big changes to the database in 0.26 and
to downgrade from there would be a pain in the ....

Regards,

Andréas
