Hi Jon, I personally feel that a presentation is a presentation irrespective of the level of content presented. The fact that you're doing a presentation is something to be said of itself. Also as a LUG we cater to a diverse crowd of tech people who range from newbies to power users to gurus. I personally would be interested to listen to both presentations and I'm sure there would be others. As long as Linux is involved thats what we care about, right guys? :-D
As far as PGP/GPG, you could do the basics and maybe leave the core stuff for the next meeting. So I'll chalk you down for two presentations and resend the agenda out. Thanks a lot and really appreciate your help. See you at the meeting. Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.D.
