[Nottingham] [Talk] *TODAY* Thurs 05/11/2009 What is there for a 'techie' Christmas?

[Martin]

Folks,

Tonight amidst all the fireworks!...

There's been some very recent Linux releases that look very good. 
There's also some rather interesting new stuff in the news to make for a 
fun Christmas.

See ya there for an 'Old Grey'(?) beer test :-)

Cheers,
Martin
