Ben,
Speaking for CLUG if I may; please bring it along Ben if you can.
Hopefully one of our members will be able to help you with your linux
machine! The idea of registration was to make sure we don't get to many
computers for the hall. But yours makes five computers so far, when the
hall should easily have room and power enough for say eight.
By the way I would like to take this opportunity to mention why we used the
email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] for registration. This was to keep
an accurate record of how many machines are being bought to the meeting.
With so many postings to our group in recent times I find it is easy to loose
track of what is going on. And I feared that a problem machine that was
going to to be bought along to the meeting may be sorted out in list prior to
the meeting and then we wouldn't know if it was going to be at the meeting
or not.
