[Chester LUG] Online Talk

[Roger Gibson]

An excellent idea Les.  And great as it is to get out when we will be 
able, a half hour drive each way can be a bit off putting.

And whilst I'm here, a couple of questions I would ask are -

Is there a way of mimicking cp -p when using the mouse to copy things 
between windows without having to go to a terminal, i.e. preserve 
timestamps etc?

Although I can zoom etc using my laptop, a camera/mike to use with my 
desktop would be very useful.  Has anyone any suggestions for a fairly 
decent Linux friendly one?

And what about a decent cheap VPN?

Many thanks for all/any suggestions.

Roger.
