Cool...

Depending on the day, if they'll let "old folk" like me in, it'd be
good to have a meet again.

Things I'm currently interested in, so this is purely selfish (!!):

 - managing a debian based system (Debian, Ubuntu, etc); ie, setting
   up the repositories, when/how do you do 'apt-get update',
   integrating things you are developing (eg I'm a jpilot developer;
   I'll always want to run this from a source compiled version not
   from whatever debian package is current), using backports.org, etc

 - window managers - want a decent twm replacement; currently fiddling
   with vtwm... not bad so far.


Cheers

Colin
