Hi Anthony,

Do you mean a comparison between the file managers?

(Quick comparison: rox-filer looks absolutely gorgeous but I haven't
worked it out yet. dfm looks very scruffy if you're not used to it, but
it soon became my file manager of choice. I find it very easy to use).

I shall very soon be gathering ideas for the talk, although my initial
plan is to offer basic hints & tips for a successful installation of a
GNU/Linux system, along with some pointers for everyday use.

However, I very much want the presentation to be *useful*, so I am
keeping my thoughts fairly open at this stage & welcome any
thoughts/wishes/requests.

Gavin.
