Happy to say this took place. I had circulated it also to a local computer club, and what do you know? One email apology for absence (but would come another time), one in-person acknowledgment (at an unrelated meeting I happened to attend) of an install being done on the person's friend's computer, and above all, one person actually turned up! I would not have been surprised if nobody had turned up. I was surprised by the actual flurry of interest. The attender had unsuccessfully tried gnu/linux some years ago and wanted to try again. He was impressed by what he saw on my eeepc - xandros, UNR and Ubuntu 8.04, multi boot etc. Ubuntu Hour is an good method of low investment local contact. Great scheme. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
