Since you mentioned it first: * Gordon has looked all over Regina, and finally found a lab of 12 Pentium machines that are operated by somebody who wants to learn more about free software. He's also become active in the local Linux user's group (http://www.losurs.regina.sk.ca/). On Monday, these two involvements will meet, when he and the other LOSURS volunteer to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on 4 of the 12 machines. This lab will be open to the public, and soon several machines will be triple-boot between the existing Windows 95, the new Debian GNU/Linux, and Debian GNU/Hurd. Many people here are excited about the Hurd, and I am sure that a public GNU lab will produce some terrific results. If anybody out there wants some encouragement with getting such a lab started in your own city, or has some good ideas for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
