Hi

Just to let you know that I think we can say the year of Desktop Linux
has really finally arrived.

Going into Morrisons into Leominster today, there was a big sign about
their new Asus Eee Pc for £199 with 'Linux Software' ..

The spec is a bit vague, they dont even have any boxes on display let
alone the devices themselves, but its the one with 16GB SD memory, 1GB
Ram, 1.3MB webcam, and 8.9" screen. 901 ??

Still the fact that you can now buy a PC in Leominster with Linux and
only Linux is quite amazing ..

Perhaps we can ask them, if they mind having some flyers for Linux and
the LUG displayed with them ???
