Umm...meeting? IRC what?

IRC is an online chat system, you may want to look here first http://www.irchelp.org/ as there is lots of help.

Could we (am I the ONLY one?) "total newbies" have our own section of the newsletter where people speak slowly and have diagrams at the ready should they be necessary? lol

We don't really need a beginners list, don't be put off by people talking technical etc. if you have a question ask it, if the answer is not something you understand then please ask again. We are a friendly bunch (unless you are related to a certain Mr W. Gates ;))

Does ALUG have a website? I've found a couple links to one but can never get it to load.

Yeah, try this, http://www.alug.org.uk/ I will look at fixing up some stuff now (either the footers in the email or where the anglian.lug.org.uk has gone)

Also, I've got some sort of OS selector on here, should I keep it or ditch it before installing Mandrake?

What kind of OS selector? and what OS does it allow you to select between?
