I have in front of me single CDs from LinuxMall.com of TurboLinux 3.6, LinuxPro 5.4, SuSE Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Slackware 7.0. I also have RedHat 6.1 which should return to me before too long and am lead to believe that more CDs may be on their way. If you want one of these, please email me and I'll post them out.
Alternatively, if ALUG5 (would 2 or 3 organisers make themselves known to the list please?) is soon, I'll bring them along.

If we could settle on a firm date/venue I hope that might be available to assist. I am working on a venue in the wilds of Suffolk not far from Diss. This however will not be available for at least a couple of months. IIRC Laurie was talking about hosting during his LAN party weekend?

Fair enough Laurie.
If we can be agree on a date or possible dates I will approach the Syleham and Wingfield Computer Club before their next meeting and see if they will be willing to host. I don't see this as a problem though, however there is no net connection as yet and the best refreshments I can offer is tea and biscuits!

Syleham and Wingfield Computer Club is situated in Syleham Village Hall. Syleham is a very small (pop < 200) village on the Norfolk/Suffolk border between the towns of Diss and Harleston, not far from the large village of Stradbroke. It looks like the organisation of ALUG5 might fall on my shoulders this time so any assistance would be welcome.
I will approach my fellow committee this week out of courtesy and confirm to the list that it will be OK to host the meeting.
What we need to do now is set a date, it will have to fit in with my wife's shifts at work though, so I can make next week Sunday 23rd or Sunday 6th Feb but not Sunday 30th Jan. So I put the ball in the groups court, does anybody have any preference on a date?
Syleham is quite hard to find, everybody gets lost coming here so I will bung a map up on the web somewhere when I get time and post the URL to the list. Who maintains the ALUG web site?

6th february would suit me, as I'm not available next weekend.
What else will we need with regards to power and extension cables, network gear and things? Also I'm Available to give two or three lifts from Aylsham, Norwich area.

The Hall has a very small computer room with about 4 Windows boxes but we should have use of the hall. There are at least the amount of power outlets as there are at Laurie's hotel and the UEA room we have used before. We will need hubs, UTP cables and extension leads. I can supply a 5 port hub a couple of cables and various extension leads and hope to have a couple of machines one Corel and one RH6.1.
If anybody can get hold of either the latest Mandrake or Definite Linux I would be grateful for a copy. I will have my burner available but we might have to use Win98 to do the burning (anybody want to help me setup x-cdroast).
If you could post to the list if you are coming, what kit you are bringing, if you are doing a demo or any requirements for help etc. then maybe it could get posted to the web site.
I have sent travel info. and directions to Andrew Savory to be posted on the web site. I just have to confirm that the hall is available and it will be all systems go.

I've also got a eight port hub with 10Base2 connector on it and 4 patch leads but one or two of these might be broken. I'll bring my PC with CD-burner and like John would like help with X-cdroast.

I'll certainly be bringing some Linux CDs and whatever connectors (power, network) I can scavenge. I would ask that people bringing machines put the CD-ROM drives on public NFS export (add "/cdrom (ro,all_squash)" to /etc/exports) and can we have a noticeboard to keep track of which machines are running what?

Hm, yes, I have noticed this :) I shall switch to potato as soon as it goes stable, certainly, which is very close now, as I understand it? I only actually switched to Linux just before Christmas (after talking about it for 18 months, running a UMSDOS test version of Slackware, and running Minix-vmd on rorschach, a rather dodgy old 386 PS/2 :)

A North Norfolk venue would be great so far the farthest north we have been is Norwich. The idea is to spread the word throughout the region. :-) Seriously though we have people coming down to Woodbridge form Kings Lynn for meetings! I think they'd appreciate somewhere more local.

It's quite a valid thought. IIRC, the original thinking was that hopefully smaller groups would form inside the original one to organise meetings in their area. Right now, I know of Laurie (who has hosted several meetings), BJ (who is organising ALUG5 with Adam (is that right?)), a few people from Essex Uni (any chance of a meeting there?), a few from UEA (we can have another meeting here, but I always seem to get in trouble stealing the network connection), myself from King's Lynn and someone from Lincs (if they're still here) who were willing to arrange meetings.
I don't think north-south split ALUGs would meet as often, but I would support people grouping into N/S (and West?) to organise meetings. But, basically, if you have a meeting place, we want to hear from you and help arrange a meeting. ;)
Aq, seriously, let us know when you could get the hall. I suggest not before 6 Mar, to allow recovery time ;)
MJR, who really must look for a western venue.

I shall check it out over the next few days; there are a couple of halls here, so it's possible that I could borrow one for nothing. More news as it happens. As regards times, early March is probably good; any earlier than that is too close to ALUG5, and in late March I'm due to become a father, which sort of precludes too much playing around with Linux, at least until I teach my impending arrival how to read manpages. ;-)

I like the idea. I'm even further south than you (Maldon). Are there enough people in Essex and the Southern parts of Suffolk to make it work though?
What are the requirements for a venue? I might be able to sort one out for a future meeting...
Requirements would be a building/room in East-Anglia with enough power points for some PC's and enough room for 20'ish people. Things that would be nice though not essential are fast Net connection and Bar :)

What are the requirements for a venue? I might be able to sort one out for a future meeting...
Requirements would be a building/room in East-Anglia with enough power points for some PC's and enough room for 20'ish people. Things that would be nice though not essential are fast Net connection and Bar :)
I don't believe that there's *anywhere* in this little town with a permanent connection, so that's out, but there *are* a few pubs down the road :) I believe that there's a bar in the palce that I'm thinking of, but you probably have to pay good moeny to hire staff etc. I'll look into it. Alternatively, cases of beer might be The Way Forward :)

What a great idea I think I've got a case of cheapo French lager around somewhere!

What version of Redhat 6.1 was on offer is it the standard or deluxe version?
I was thinking about buying Redhat Deluxe but if someone in the group already has it I could get definite Linux instead.

I have in front of me single CDs from LinuxMall.com of TurboLinux 3.6, LinuxPro 5.4, SuSE Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Slackware 7.0. I also have RedHat 6.1 which should return to me before too long and am lead to believe that more CDs may be on their way. If you want one of these, please email me and I'll post them out.
Alternatively, if ALUG5 (would 2 or 3 organisers make themselves known to the list please?) is soon, I'll bring them along.

Single CD, so I suspect standard.
