made 'playfighting' as someone referred to it as, almost into a
spectator sport<br>In my experience, mainly with that other [sillybilly] OS, crossover to linux is put off by a lot of geekspeak, because thinking is required, but grub has to be THE no1 problem I hear, <br>"I tried to install Linux but it killed my windoze H/D"<br><br>Can't we run a training session/day?<br>"Bring your kit & have Linux fit - you know it makes sense" - or something<br>Any other Computer clubs /fairs locally where linux could be used/demoed/tried/talked about?<br>Retirement & just sitting on my ar*e at the keyboard is not much fun, so if anyone would like to consider these, or discuss other ideas, I'm up for it<br>Thanks,<br>Aitch<br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>> Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 16:53:17 +0100<br>> From: binarysignal@gmail.com<br>> To: kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Subject: Re: [Klug-general] Give me an 'e' -> Pupeee/Puppy Dingo<br>> <br>> On Mon, May 26, 2008 at 12:49 PM, nic dan <dungeons88@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > I'll keep an eye out for meetings in Chatham, in case you ever get here<br>> <br>> We don't have a meeting place in Chatham, but if you or someone else<br>> can find on in Chatham/Rochester/Gillingham we'll meet here.
