Electric Sheep Linux Client Release: 2.7b9

See the previous post for how to install it. If you have subscribed to our PPA, then your client will be auto-updated. The changelog is below. The important addition is support for authentication. If you create an account on the new drupal and then enter the same information into the "electricsheep-preferences" dialog, you'll get better bandwidth.

change default nickname to empty string to protect user privacy, instead of broadcasting USER envar. add a button to the preferences dialog that tests the current network settings (including if the user/password account is valid). use 20th percentile instead of median for deletion limit, ie protect fewer sheep. remove cvs version strings. follow http redirections vi -L option to curl. enable basic authentication (the user/password refers to the drupal on the sheep server). put the client version into the URL for the help page.
