Text looks fine to me. Where are you going to put it up?

However, you've triggered thoughts of a problem I have with Gutsy and in fact 
all of Debian. I can't get it to recognise my network.

I'm currently running Xubuntu Fiesty, which works perfectly straight out of 
the box. I spent two hours updating to Gutsy the other day and lo and behold 
all my network applications (Firefox, Kmail, Lifeara, apt) all respond 
with 'No network connected'. There is nothing untoward that I can spot in any 
of the config files. I can ping the network, I can ping all my favourite 
websites but all the applications declare that I don't have a network 
connected - but it was working before I upgraded and it used it to upgrade. 

Before installing Fiesty I had the same problem with Debian Etch and the same 
problem with Ubuntu Edgy (Gnome) but not Kubuntu Edgy ( KDE) or Xubuntu Edgy 
(XFCE). I've been on all the mail lists and nobody can come up with a 
satisfactory answer.

Anybody else encountered this?

Incidentally SuSE, Mandriva and Fedora have all worked straight out of the 
box. I conclude it is something in the Debian code that my setup doesn't 
like.
