[Wylug-discuss] [MASSMAIL] Not wanting to start a distro war

[John Robert Hudson]

Still got an Amstrad 6128 running CP/M+, an Amstrad Notepad and an HP Brio from 
2000 running MiniNo Alguadeira: see 
http://johnrhudson.me.uk/computing/After_KDE.odp[1] 

The title of the presentation refers to the fact that the HP Brio originally had Caldera 
openLinux with KDE on it.
