On Sunday November 1st I replaced the root disk in our firewall.  Over this time our connection to the outside world was down.  Additionally, connections to some of our servers that depend on the firewall (like bioinf) were down even from within the department.  The downtime was from 9:45am to 10:15am.

• XFCE changed the defalt icon setup so you may need to redo icons the first time you use the new build. See Where are my Icons?
• You may need to set your preferred browser. XFCE menu –> Settings –> Preferred Applications –> Web Browser

Please let me know if something in the new build is not working for you. I am sure there are going to be some issues and I would like to deal with them promptly. If you notice it, it will effect someone else as well.
