I agree completely. Almost every time the UUG has had meetings involving programming, it's either something like "Linux Kernel Modules" (very Linux-specific), or something like "Introduction to Ruby" (interpreted languages), both of which I think work well, as long as they don't outweigh "'cool' things [you] can do with [your] Linux box" as you put it. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
