Hi Folks

If you recall our chat on IRC a while back about a Kit Meeting. The suggestion was that i should post some ideas.

I've managed to get Ubunutu on my spare machine with no problems - gulp. I've got a Compaq P3 500mb and it seems to run ver 6.10 fine so far. Someone was going to throw it out so i gave it a 'good home'. I was wondering if folk would be interested in a meeting shortly... or series of meets. I've now got loads of questions on linux and on computing in general. While it's fine to chat on IRC i thought it would be nice to get folk together.

Topics for a meeting from my point of view:

• installing software and using wine [i've Ubuntu Hacks and Ubuntu Linux Bible by Von Hacks but it's still hard going]
• pros/cons of different distros [I've chosen Ubuntu as there seemed to be more available for it but would like to see other distros that folk use]
  
• compiling programs from source
• computer architecture [modern m'boards for Linux... what's not needed for Linux i.e SATA etc]
• using linux for websites to enhance security
• internet connection via power sockets [can't remeber what these are called!]
  

As a result of this post and responses we can get a meeting organised covering all needs and interests!
