yeah ... I got "the" CD acouple of months back intending to have a look
at it, but, as you say it's only the beginnings of a bootstrap; and I
haven't got a big fast connection yet. It's being very highly spoken of
on c.o.l.a, looks as if a lot of (ex)-Debian users are finding it
pretty good.

I'm sorry I missed it, but I couldn't get there. I hope something keeps

set topics, the organised LUG thing like bigger groups do, but we could
maybe rig up ways of keeping contact ?
