[Scottish] Which distro

[stephen donaldson]

Can you send the error message in full if possible.

Christmas was fine, a lovely 26 deg C and a BBQ + Local Coppers beer on 
the beach, I still can't get used to hot weather for December, alas the 
price for living in Australia :-)

Hope the weather isn't too cold for you guys, but I see its been wet for 
a bit...!

Steve
