[StALUG] new to linux and out of my depth!

[Rory Beaton]

Hi Garry,

Welcome to the list.

Unfortunately we don't have any meetings organised at the moment but I hope we
can have some events in the near future. I'm sitting the British Library at St
Pancras at the moment so I'm not in a position to write much but I'll try to
drop you a mail when I get back to Fife...

Best regards,

rb
