[HLUG] Herefordshire Digest, Vol 1645, Issue 1

[David Shorthouse]

Indeed nearly always busy will try & get to one of the meetings probably won't be till the new year...

Although if I see anything I can help with on here I'm always happy to help...
As I've been away for so long...
I'm a casual user of Linux I love the network security side of Linux... 
I run Ubuntu, opensuse I also run Kali Linux which is a pentesting distro...
I have 3 WiFi pineapples which I can bring along to a meeting and also a battery powered raspberry pi... 
If anyone is interested I'd demo as well..

Catch up soon... 

Dave  :-)
