I'm reluctant to have all the eggs in one basket (if we lose one machine or the other in a blazing fireball, we can reconstruct very quickly if there's already somewhere with alug access), but a forwarder probably makes sense. > Of course, I'm +1 for writing all content in XML and sticking Cocoon on > the front-end :-) Of course, you have a -1 weighting for the state of the current site. ;-) Personally, I'd rather use the mature system to get a kick-arse site right now than fight with an alpha framework to get something up soon. That's why I use Linux not Win2k... /me slaps self for use of FUD -- MJR (For addresses, telephones, fax, etc, see headers.)

I know we are trying to I'll be coming, but as usual, I'm not sure I'll be transporting a machine out to the wilds of suffolk. I'll p-p-p-pick up a hub tomorrow and can give 3 lifts from Diss station if you email me off-list with times before Sat. -- MJR

Next Meeting
by John Woodard 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Confirmation that the next ALUG will be @ Syleham Village Hall on Sun 27th Aug between 2:00 and 6:30. Can somebody update the web site? I will post announce messeges to the relavent newsgroups. The hall will cost us £7.50 - we can have a whip round. I forgot about it last time! Cheers, BJ

IRC and Sunday
by John Woodard 24 Aug '00

24 Aug '00

What is the general consensus of opinion on last Mondays IRC meeting, was it a success, is it worth doing again? If so is it worth doing it between meetings? I thought it went fairly well with at least some of the pressing items coming up for discussion so maybe... Who is coming on Sunday and what are you bringing? I know we are trying to sort out the web site and other mundane admin stuff. So far the only requests for Sunday have been Terry Filby, who wants some assistance getting anything to work on his desktop box and me, I could use a little help with lilo on 'rodney'. Cheers, BJ

Another go please!?
by Terry Filby 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

My first ALUG meeting was at Aylsham when Andrew Savory very kindly put a Debian distro on my Packard Bell Executive, not without problems, but he, unlike myself, had the experience to get out of them, it was fine for a month or three, and then I tried to upgrade it, but only succeeded in mucking the installation up - I have tried several distro's since then, all with no success, apart from Lnx4Win from Mandrake which, of course, runs on the window partition, so no problem, though it wasn't as good or as fast as a dedicated partition for it. I have recently bought a 2nd-hand Thinkpad 560E with Mandrake 7.0 installed on it for me, but I would still like a 'proper' distro, preferably Debian, as I was very much impressed with the one Andy put on, but I have several other distro's on CD, including Suse 6.4 and all the Linux Format cover disks plus others. I would like, if possible - and if someone could install it for me - to bring my computer to Sylham next Sunday along with all of my distro's if needed, I have 3 CD's of Debian, but would like the latest one if I can. Thanks Terry

I suggest 1800 on Monday 21st Aug, eu.openprojects.net, port 8001, channel #alug -- is that good for people?
