Thanks, Ian - format of the evening is something we have not yet tied down. We probably want to make it a mix of short presentations about the LUG, about issues around GNU/Linux and free/libre and open software, but also provide some 'hands on' experiecne with different distros.
<br><br>I am happy to do some general talk - although there may be others who are more experienced with Linux who may be better placed to do this. I can also bring a couple of laptops with different distros etc., and we can have some live distros.
<br><br>BTW - it seems we also will have the meeting in conjunction with the BCS Open Source Specialist Group.<br><br>Cheers, Peter Murray<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:lincs-request@mailman.lug.org.uk">
