Beer & Curry? Did someone say beer & curry? Wicked!

I dunno about once a week (I'm a parent and I don't live in London) but I
could handle that kind of thing maybe once a month (not at Christmas though

In some case just easy to understand documentation that explains the why's
as well as the how's would help.

OK ... I wonder if there's a Kent Linux group?

Ah ... you'll be one of the ones I need to talk to then (being ex-MS) :-)
