Seriously: I am leaving UEA and will not be able to book them any more, but I may still be lurking enough to be useful for this meeting, so it would be an ideal time to hand over organising UEA meetings to someone else. Steve, are you up for this?

I second the idea at the UEA... It's a big place and very easy to get to... the fact that I'm living on campus at the moment did not affect my decision whatsoever... :) ===== --------------- Steve Kuo "How can we claim to be an advanced and civilized society when no other creatures on Earth develops technology to blow themselves up three times over?" ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The web site

OK, I'm going to give the web site a bit of a quick kick up the arse this weekend, so other CVS users beware and make sure you do a "cvs update" before editing anything. Everyone can help! I'd like any bright ideas about what you want to see on the site, please. The front page will finally become less "content-free", so don't suggest that, but do suggest what you want to see on it. Also, I'd like anyone's explanations of what "Linux is..." and "ALUG is...", please. The more the merrier! Finally, if anyone wants to help directly, drop me an email and I'll tell you how to get started with CVS and XML as soon as this update is over. It's so simple, even David Freeman should be able to do it! ;-) PS David - there is a dormant Kent LUG for you to restart, you know?

> OK out of curriosity as its a sys admin qualification how much did it cost to > get the peace of paper? As I have had some bad luck with job hunting and things > are getting very tight with the moneys It was a one week "intensive" course followed by an exam (which was graciously included for the modest sum of around ?4k). I would look into alternatives as I do honestly believe that it doesn't touch the core of linux but just the RedHat packages/additions that they bundle. Martyn

Do we have anyone who's either studying for or has passed the LPI <URL:http://www.lpi.org/> exams and can say if *they* are a good qualification?

Well, I found that the RHCE examination was not a good test of any persons abilities with Linux as a whole. I feel that I passed without knowing any real amount about my beloved OS. I certainly know more through reading HOWTO's and man pages than I ever learned through my time down in Guildford. Still I hope I make up in energy and commitment all that I lose through ignorance and inability. P.S. - Thanks for the welcome MJ. Martyn
