seriously, ILUG is a joke-name I once used and to my horror people took
it seriously. ILUG (ayin Yud Lamed Vav Gimel) spells "lameness" to
me. GILI is a cool, refreshing, young, happy name, more descruptive of
the spirit of Linux. I know some of you may look at linux as "another
one of those drabby boring Unix monstrous things I work with and it's
nothing to write home about" but for me it's also the cultural
"thing" around it. I think 3-4 others on this list take my view of it.
so maybe a "Group of Israeli Linux I-vangelists" we're not...
I also offered "Israeli Group of Linux Users" - IGLU

hey. it's too cocky for me to compare us against SVLUG (the other LUG in
which I was a member for so very long time now), but still, this group
is not too good at being open to newbies and spreading the word. which
is not the spirit of Linux in the rest of the world at least.

if the user compiled libzen version 2.07 or newer and installed it
correctly, it should be no problem.

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a
dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
