[Preston] July Meeting

[Guy Heatley]

Hi Neil,
We can try this tomorrow if you like with the wireless router.
(Yes the meeting is tomorrow ;-).
I have a feeling that WPA is supported under Linux but some non-free
(as in freedom) software may be required to get it to work fully.
I might be wrong.

Stand up for freedom: Switch to GNU/Linux.
