As ever the beer was as excellent as the company, I won't mention the
sad (young) git who needs converting from Lager to real ale!!

We live in interesting times, in the two or three years I have been
playing with and later using Linux, I have seen vast improvements with
each new version; Kernel, Desktop and Apps. Lets hope this growing
interest and awareness spills over to the guys and gals who spend long
hours slaving over a hot keyboard to work their magic. And those of us
who are past the or never even reached the heady heights of programming
can still do our bit by promoting the Operating system of choice.
