[Liverpool] IT Security Advice For LSC

[Dan Lynch]

I'm not sure exactly what they want but that sounds pretty close to me.
Dave from LSC suggested using the machine they have there as a demo maybe.
That runs Ubuntu 10.04. It could really do with updating though. Another
job for the LUG I think.

I expect the group will have a mixture of Windows, Mac and Linux at home
yeah. I'll introduce you to Dave tonight if you like? He's a nice guy.

Thanks for showing an interest in helping :)
