That would be fabulous.

Basically the Assembly Rooms can make use of whatever it is offered right now. 
Its previous system was on loan, which ended in the recent round of volunteer 
reorganisation, leaving the Rooms with effectively no computer system.

I've been watching them struggle with setting up a single Windows box with 
interest. OK it's easy to actually install or upgrade, however various people 
have now spent hours trying to get rid of virii, trojans, spyware, pop-ups 
etc. Every so often I mention that I haven't had to deal with this stuff for 
over two years. It has now got to the point where most of the staff would be 
prepared to learn to use GNU/Linux if I set it up and show them how to use 
it. I suspect once I show them firefox and GIMP, they won't look back. ;)

Thankyou for your support.
Much appreciated
