GNOME-cy :)

I can hopefully bring my iBook along. However, this does rely on it
working - my hard disk gave up the ghost just over a week ago and I need
to rip it to pieces in order to fit the new disk.

I could also bring my desktop machine if needed (Athlon 750) which
incidentally does TV out - maybe I could try and get Freevo fully set
up?

What sort of internet connection will we have?

Thanks for organising this, Phil.
