Indeed, it worked very well for Cheshire when we decided to revive
the meetings at the end of 2002. It's given enough of a focus that
social meetings have also started up again.

Family circumstances don't leave me with much time
to get out at the moment, but when I can I have a
couple of ideas for talks...

... but how about local resources - do RR use Linux?
We had Jodrell Bank talking about their Linux cluster,
maybe someone knows someone with something like
that - it could also be advertised outside of the LUG.

Good ideas :)

Samba; terminal server; VOIP; low resource Linux;
Linux on non-x86 architectures; firewalls with IPtables;
customising Knoppix....
