Hi. The LUG's traditionally have a bit of a plain site because they are 
predominantly mailing list driven.

I've been to a few SB LUG meets, but not to a RnB LUG meet yet.

If anyone does need any help with anything Linux related I'm sure people on 
this list would be only too pleased to help.

What distribution are you using? What kind of problems have you come up 
against?

Cheers
