That was me. I probably could have gotten a ride, however, had I asked on the list. Shame on me... > > So, let's hear what is important to you as members of CLUG. What are > > you looking for?

I can't say I'm too experienced using most distros (other than gentoo) or anything with a GUI, but I could help people out with: - bacula config. - linux c programming - general CLI stuff - configuring other linux "stuff" ( /etc/* ) - linux on USB flash - installing gentoo - "why will this not compile(or execute)!?" problems Hopefully there is some interest for a mentoring program (from both sides, the mentors and the students.) Maybe this should be the next poll? (or better yet, be brought up at the next meeting.) -Mark Carlson _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
