I'm on the new Mandrake 9.2 by the way (release candidate 2 so it's not
quite ready) seems quite polished though.

Linux Expo - anyone going? Free registration online. Last year was fun
and there was a pub + train station nearby. Full details at the website
http://www.linuxexpouk.co.uk/

I was going to go on the Thursday,various non lug people I know are
going too. It says they can't accommodate students, but I would just be
creative with your job description on the registration form to get round
that. ("web developer" or "technician" spring to mind)

for full details from last year search the archive for "expo"
