Nice to see familiar faces, a new face and a face that hasn't left the confines of Norwich for an ALUG meeting before. Sorry about the lack of beer my fault I will make sure I have the bar keys next time.

Various discussions were held about web hosting, firewalls, software patents, the DMCA and its European equivalents, how to circum navigate CD copy protection, hi-fi vinyl turntables and how to stop vibration affecting them also the reason why there was *NO* beer.

Some kit was in evidence with a partial install of Mandrake 9.2 being made (just to test the hardware).

Future meetings were also mentioned with another showing of Revolution OS being requested, so it was decided that it could be screened at the next meeting at Syleham, on the large TV owned by the Syleham and Wingfield Sports and Social Club. Their permission will be sought and it will be scheduled for the last Sunday in Feburary next year, the 29th. This will be a normal Sunday meeting too so feel free to come with or without kit as per usual.

Cheers, BJ
