Hello Jonty. I am a new SC LUG person too. I recently moved to a village near
Oswestry in Shropshire, though hopefully will be getting work in Chester soon,
which will make it an ideal place for geekmeets and whatnot.

Must say I like the fact that this LUG's site makes it clear it is a group for
free software users, rather than just linux ones. Makes those of us not yet to
make the full conversion feel at home.

I don't actually run a linux box of my own yet, though I have in the past had a
dual boot with w*nd*ws and do play around with live CDs at the moment. Am
looking to buy a desktop PC soonish and have decided that will be a linux only
machine.

Indeed! I spent 3 years at Hull Uni myself. Marvellous place. Does The Tower
still do all drinks for 20p each on a Wednesday?

That would be a nice idea - hopefully I would be based in Chester during the
week by then.
