Apart from the afore mentioned machines I'll be bringing.....

A 1.0 GHz Athlon, 256MB, Nvidia GF2MX running Debian.

Amongst other things it runs  Apache so  we can have a local web server.
I'll copy the LUG web pages for demo purposes.

I'm sure we could mong a local mail delivery system too.

It also has DVD + Mplayer + xine + ogle
(Yes I have DVD's which will play with one but not the others)
. So if Paul were able to get RevolutionOS off John we may
have some background noise.

BUT

I lack a set of portable speakers to give RevolutionOS any sound.
Anybody able to oblige ?

An 8 port 10/100 hub and a mix of cables.



Have fun,
Duncan
