Could be awkward for me to attend the pub meets (regularly at least) but 
it's something to aim for.

Can I start with a question?
I'm just in the process of installing Debian on a HD I have here. I have 
a set of Woody CDs which I've successfully installed. I now want to 
apt-get dist-upgrade but apt-get doesn't seem to connect. It appears to 
be trying to connect to 1.0.0.0 in each case. I woundered if it was my 
ADSL firewall/router getting in the way and whether I need to get a 
port-forwarding rule up but I wouldn't have thought I'd have to as I've 
tried both http and ftp URIs.

Anyone ever had trouble with this?
