Who's coming, what they bringing.
I'll definitely be there with 'Dellboy' my trusty laptop running Mandrake 7. Also 'Rodney' my main box which I can't seem to get ATA66 working on so some help there please. and at least one other machine running whatever distro I decide to bung on it this week if I have the time. Plenty of power leads and network stuff, 5 port hub etc., tea/coffee/bikies and anything else I can think of.
Cheers, BJ

I will be there. I may bring an old P100 laptop running Slackware 3.4 which I need help in installing/configuring Apache on. I'll have another play with it before the meeting and if I'm still stuck I will bring it along for people to help me with.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. However, I am overcome with awe at the names "rodney" and "delboy" for boxes ;) I wish I'd thought of that :)
ucc.edu used to have a server called osaycan, which I always thought was hilarious :)
Mine are named after characters from "Watchmen", which is not nearly as interesting.
Aq -- "ping boycie", what a command ;)

Excuse me for being think, but I don't get the significance of "Osaycan". Probably because I've been at work all night, and have just got home... Maybe it'll come to me later :-)

I suspect it's because it's osaycan.ucc.edu, ie
"Oh say can you see (cc.edu)"
I could be completely wide of the mark here, but...

The box was called osaycan.ucc.edu, as in "O, say can you see", from the American national anthem. Possibly this is just my sense of humour bypass playing up again :-)

For ALUG 8 I will also bring along a couple of spare CDs I have. If anyone wants them, just let me know:
OpenGL Developer Tools - April 1998 (the most recent) x 2 SGI Developer Program (for Windows NT machines)
See you on Sunday.

Delboy was named at Alug 5 due to it being a Dell machine, the other names seemed to fall into place 'Rodney', 'Albert', and 'Trigger' etc. Glad it brought a smile.

As a matter of interest - how far is the hall from Diss station? Looks like I'll have to get a taxi from there and was just wondering how much that's going to cost.. If all is well, I will hopefully be around for proper this time :)

Martyn
