Hi there. Nice to see another Ubuntu user in Balderton (where I live as well). 
I ditched Windows back in April when I bought a new computer, and couldn't face 
using Vista.

For the last few months, the group has been meeting at 8pm on the last Tuesday 
of the month at the Rose and Crown (opposite Tesco on Main Street), where 
you'll find me sinking a few beers. We're a friendly and fairly informal bunch, 
and I like to sink a few beers. We did try to sort of set themes for each 
evening, but after sinking a few beers, it's probably more fun to laugh at me, 
and my Linux disasters (my greatest achievement to date, is unmerging 
core-utils on a Gentoo box, in an attempt to solve a dependancy issue... no one 
told me it was a bad idea).

Hope to meet you soon (I'll be the pickled one in the corner complaining that 
there isn't a kebab shop in Balderton).

Steve

PS My drinking habits do not necessarily reflect those of the rest of the group.
