Firstly,
Well done Mark, on setting this up.
I can help with the web stuff, especially if people give me the text (hard or soft copy) so I can build the code around it.
I also already use Linux at the Hotel, on an old 486DX4-120 with 32meg on it. Principally I use it as a file server using samba (also running KDE, and SuSE 6.0), but I'm working on the proxy stuff now. I have some other kit at home I could bring up, so we could network a few PCs together and play with X-WIN-PRO, and so forth (quake2 tournament anyone ;^)). I also use Linux at home, so I can bring another old 486 up, and a couple of PII W95 boxes. Perhaps we could bring up some other old kit and install Linux whilst we're there.
I've had a great idea! Let's make a project of getting my ppp, diald, firewall, and proxy working! Well, it works for me... ;^)
I have the SuSE 6.0 CDs, and the freeby Red Hat from this month's PC Plus (yet to play with that). I suspect that, like me, most people are newbies, so it could be interesting.
May Day weekend would certainly be an option: we've got Lunchtime Jazz on the Sunday, and a Car Treasure Hunt on the Monday. The sun might even shine!
I agree that anglian.lug.org.uk is a better choice of domain name. In the short-term, I have several sites I can host any pages on as an interim, just let me know.
Cheers, Laurie.
