[cumbria_lug] Meetings

[Luke Antins]

Well feel free to pick my brain Mark =)

I've been using Slackware for about 10 years now.
Only on servers now, but I once used it as a desktop, before getting a Mac.

I've used other distros too, through work or just playing about.

But I'm a Mac user. So you shouldn't believe anything I say about Linux! ;-)
