[Watford] SLES 10

[Keith & Anita]

Hi Simon,

Just to say a thosand thank you's for your good tip. I did that thing with 
the firewall and it worked straight away. People anywhere in the world can 
now  see my 1 page  website.  I will have to find something to put in it 
now. I herd about the Linux meeting on Saturday 11 November in London. I 
shall be going to that, so I might see you there if you are going.


thanks again

Keith Joseph
