[HLUG] Presentation on Weds Night

[Paul Stenning]

Hi all,

I've been trying to install PCLinuxOS on my laptop as an alternative 
version (to Ubuntu) just to demonstrate to those interested (no prepared 
presentation) but I have had loads of problems getting it to run and 
keep running so I've given up with that.  The graphics won't work at the 
native screen resolution, the wireless (with ndiswrapper) sometimes 
doesn't start up and the whole OS freezes randomly for no apparent reason.

Unless I can get something else working tomorrow evening (openSUSE 
perhaps) I'll just bring myself with nothing to show. :(

Oh, I do have the 3G internet router from work which I'll bring, plus a 
CD/DVD duplicator.

Paul.
