    Hello All, I started experimenting with linux in about 2005 by 
    downloading Damn Small Linux and have been Linux only since 2006 I 
    think.  Played around with various distros until I found I only liked 
    Debian and Debian based distros and stuck with them ever since until 
    last year when I could not get Buster to run properly on my new Asus 
    Zenbook.  I had been wanting to try Manjaro for a while, so installed it 
    and found it worked exceptionally well, the only disadvantage being the 
    huge size of the major (and regular) updates. Had to swap onto an 
    unlimited data deal but hey, it's only £17 month for 4G with 3 Mobile 
    and pretty fast and reliable despite the fact that we are well out in 
    the sticks.  I'm hoping to see you all at the October meeting all being 
    well, though not sure how this Rule of 6 will affect that.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the introduction and welcome to the list (

Regarding the October meeting, I think it is unlikely to happen. I've been adjusting/cancelling the meetings since the beginning of the virus outbreak, but optimistically not cancelling too far into the future. As things stand, I think it is unlikely that there will be any meetings this side of Christmas. It sucks. That said, a number of users hangout daily in the LUG's IRC channel, so if you've not done so already, please feel free to pop in. Details here: https://lincolnlug.org.uk/irc 

Anyways, hope to meet you at a LUG meeting soon'ish.

Cheers,
Philip
