Yes, sounds good to me. If you can write it up and are willing and able to
answer questions, it can go with the rest of the distro info material. We
should try for a standard format, with the same headings for the paragraphs,
and roughly the same length. If you want to argue about the headings we
have time, as this is being set up to appear by the end of next month. I
like DSL, but at our meeting we said we should aim to concentrate on
installed Linux, rather than live CDs.
If we can find someone to write up Ubuntu in the same way, we have enough for
a website presentation.
It would be good if you could work this up into a half hour talk for
beginners. At the moment the topic list for the beginner's half hours looks
like this:
KOffice
er,.. Computer hardware and Linux
We need to have at least 3-4 topics in place before we start the meetings, and
they need to be proper presentations, using say, Kpresenter, so they can be
accessed by anyone who does not get to meetings, - criticism improves style
and content as they say.
I can out inverse snob you on machines. This is being written on a 6 y o
Panasonic Toughbook. It has 128Mb and runs up to date Slackware 11.0 at 300
Mhz. I did have to spend £25 on a new hard drive last year.
