That's what I thought. I know someone who works in the sign writing

Um... I'll have a think about it. Would it be okay to use the DCLUG

So thats one laptop running etch, and another (possibly two others)
running Ubuntu Feisty (mine is running Feisty at the moment with Beryl
although I may switch over to Kubuntu before the event so
we have a bit
