[Daniel Lower]

Hiya,

FYI People keep asking where my laptop comes from well it's

http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/

and the URL for the other Linux magazine is:

http://www.linux-magazine.com/

Which had interesting articles on Spam-Assasin, DVD Burning, Wireless
networks and stuff.

Also Leon mentioned Freevo as opposed to Tivo which might be a fun
project for someone to put-together:

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/

I asked about backups Simon Heywood mentioned rdiff-backup bit like
rsync except with files of changes so you can retrieve a backup on
any date.

There was also talk of games because of problems with Unreal 2003 on
Linux.

The evening finished with a heated debate on whether it would be
possible to write to cdroms as we do a floppy or a hd.

Well after a little looking this guy is working on CD R/W interface
at kernel level.
