Subject: Re: apt-get
well... in the interim I got my memory chips so I shut down my computer to
put them in and found I got the wrong ones! they're two small. so I restart
the computer, get your message, and:

bmike1@C521 ~ $ which command-not-found
bmike1@C521 ~ $ command-not-found
command-not-found: command not found
bmike1@C521 ~ $
