Can we clear something up is it ALUG 6 or ALUG 28? If ALUG 28 where were the other 23 meetings?

Yes!

IIRC, Adam kindly volunteered to host one of the later ALUGs in North Norfolk - he said around ALUG28 or so. Since we didn't have any other venues that we hadn't already visited many times, we decided to hold ALUG28 after ALUG5. I suspect ALUG6 will be after ALUG28. Almost as confusing as Sun's OS numbers...

Probably on par with Newbie confusion on why there is RedHat 6.2 yet Linux 2.2. James. - public beta of LNC coming Wednesday (sshhhhh!)

And why Patrick decided to leap from Slackware 3.x to 7.0 directly, since everyone said "hey, why are you four major versions behind RedHat?" :-) Aq. -- Well *done*, Aquarius -- a phrase we love typing because it makes us feel like the boss-character from a 1980s Glen A Larson action series...

In defence, Slackware 4 was most definitely a real release, 5 is uncertain and I believe that 6 was a buggy move to glibc2.0 that few people ever got a copy of, which was abandoned in favour of a move to glibc2.1 for version 7. They were versions, even if not general releases. Of course, Slackware 96 is out there somewhere complicating things ;-) -- | MJR "Everything is planned, from -- crime to leisure time."

Ah, that's what I get for relating apocryphal stories :) I gave up on SW a while ago -- I should probably keep in touch with it more...
