Hello Alug...
I didn't think that there was a Linux users group in Suffolk until I stumbled across your web page. Hopefully the group is alive and well.
I see that you have meetings at the Milestone Beer House - when is your next meet? I'm guessing the 21st from your web page.
Anyway I could ramble on forever about what I use Linux for but it boils down to this: my missus uses Ubuntu Gutsy because she it does what she wants it to do (and the BBC finally got a beta out the door for iPlayer). I use Linux because it's easier to work with (haha, but seriously it's getting easier to work with) although I hanker after games. I randomly nuke my machine and put a new distro on there, run virtual machines and then remember I didn't back up all my data to that spare disk under my feet. Favourite distro: Ubuntu. Least favourite: Gentoo, although friends of mine swear by it I swear at it.
If there's anyone out there - please give me a shout back.
John.
