On Gordon's advice, I am confirming a specific date for a meeting at my
house to discuss best practice when installing Linux.

"Linux Installation - Achieving A Great Desktop System" - Wednesday 12th
January 2011 - 14:00 to 16:30

Purpose - There is much information available on installing Linux OS's
but, installing the OS is only the 1st step (as many of you will be very
aware) in achieving a desktop system that meets your day to day as well
as less frequent computing requirements. It could be argued that with
Linux there is almost too much choice of utilities & software to install
and I thought it could be useful to share our experiences of which we
have found the most useful & why (also, useful additional repositories
to add etc.)

* I realise that we will be possibly using different distros and doing
things in different ways but, learning the different approaches that
people take could be very useful.

Location - 19 Fordlands Road, Moretonhampstead, TQ13 8LR

During the day, there is likely to be some street parking available in
the immediate vicinity but, in addition, there are 2 public car parks in
the town as well - approx. 10 minutes walk away.

In organising this, I just request that you confirm with me if you are
definitely planning to come (and if anything last minute prevents this)

I will provide refreshments.

Please let me know if I have omitted anything.

regards

Viv

Please add me to the list. I plan to make it if the weather is OK. In case you have forgotten, a long time ago now you came to Holsworthy by arrangement to sell me your PalmOne. I expect that you have forgotten. I will confirm nearer the time.

Thanks

Neil
