<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Have to admit, as a newbie - hangs head - that I've
temporarily gone back to the madmen of Richmond. I tried to get a distro that
suited me but either Ubuntu or CentOS or whatever baulked at my hardware or I
just couldn't get stuff to install. Linux needs to be made more user-friendly
for those of us long in the tooth and none too keen on struggling with
repositories. Ubuntu was allegedly the answer, hmm.. i didn't find it so and I'm
building my sixth machine (don't haved them all of course) so I know what
the inside of the box looks like :-) It's always the bloody software
that's the problem.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I shall return, as the idiot said.</FONT></DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>cool!<BR>I forgot to mention in my long post yesterday
that Ubuntu vs Arch.<BR>Ubuntu is like buying a car (An Audi perhaps?),
Arch is like building one from a selection of parts.<BR><BR>BTW I have
previously used vector linux for a very old laptop with some success for
someone who then sold it to buy booze and fags (c'est la
vie).<BR><BR>Which distro(s) do other lugogers use?<BR><BR>--- On

<DIV id=yiv1484409875>So as not to lose this fragile spark of
activity, I've assumed Phil's suggestion of the pub in Ashcott and
created a doodle page so that we can pick a date and have a meetup.
Which could be the first of, er, one. Or indeed many.<BR><BR>Vote
