[Nottingham] TOMORROW: Wed 19th of January Meet

[David Wolfson]

Just thought you might like to know, that following this talk I've just swapped to the newest mandrake (rather than RH9) at home, and will be trying to eeek out the time to do so work. So far, liking the urpmi, and the look and features seem quite appealing. I think Martin's 'which distro' was right on the mark; ok so the user needs to make their own decision, but knowing the particular specialty of a distro (server, gaming, workstation...) is really useful in making that decision.

Belated thanks Martin,

Dave
