<div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>At the moment I am transferring all Taylug archives into a database for the new Taylug web site. The only thing is that the archives has all email headers on the from line in the format - Jimmy at <a href="http://googlemail.com" target="_blank">googlemail.com</a>, for example, so I have to replace it in a text editor to <a href="mailto:jimmy@googlemail.com" target="_blank">jimmy@googlemail.com</a> for it to be accepted in the 'Lurker' database. I have to do this for every message from 2002, I am now at September 2007 so I will soon be finished. In testing the search of the database, I just have to type in some expletives and all these messages turns up will Lee's name on it (Heh! Heh!). The TayLUG old timer award (Geeker as opposed to Oscar) goes to Jason Cormie who sent the second post to the emailing list back in 2002. As for distros, well say no more but Fedora 10 just rocks with a single multimedia repository (rpmfusion) that takes care of all proprietary codecs etc. To me it is a desktop, workstation and server rolled into one that can switch to XFCE, KDE or Gnome at a click. I suppose I am a bit biased, just like everyone else.<br>
