for two of my boxes I used the startersguide [1] but I get a 404 on
that now. where'd it go?

I noticed you've split off from the original thread, it seems you
re-typed the subject instead of "really" replying and missed the
middle _s_ in startersguide.

He _did_ reply. It's still threaded.

As a result there's now 2 threads. I replied to the other one which
seems to be the original.

Posting from the archives ? ;)

Nope, matching the subject to the original content:
http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/. Someone searching the archives is
likely going to be looking for whatever by its correct spelling, which
will match what will be found by Google or the URL.

But it _really_ doesn't matter - google will still find the original,
because it has the URL in it. Google doesn't just index by subject, or
we'd never find half the useful stuff!

Some people go directly to list archives and use the search functions
they provide, which typically aren't so smart, making you search through
a choice of topic, date, or author, ignoring the content itself
