Re: [LUG] Cornish interest

 

I think it would depend on our experience level with linux.  Personally I'd 
like to discuss the basics, I don't feel I could preach to others until I 
felt confident myself.  It'd just be nice to see what others know, what apps 
there are out there that are useful, see windows alternatives etc., make it 
kinda fun and educational.  I personally don't know anyone else using Linux, 
I've subscribed to Linux Format which is a great help and several forums keep 
me in touch with the Linux community, so it would be good to meet up.
Perhaps it would be useful if we had a map of the area with members locations 
dotted on - then we could see who's about locally and get in touch that way.
Just a thought.
Cheers,
Matt.
