[Blackpool] Python intro

[Les Pounder]

Hi James, nice to meet you today!

Glad you enjoyed today's meeting, my thanks to Jon for leading the session,
I found it an excellent intro to python.

Regarding the best distro for your laptop, the best suggestion I can make
is to try them both via a Live CD/USB stick, we can take a look at next
weeks LUG if you like?

Also, if you are familiar with Centos, then perhaps you may be interested
in using Fedora, they are both based on the same install base so it might
make the transition more comfortable?

Jon, can we please continue the Python lesson next week?

Thanks to all for today.

Les
