Re: [LUG] Offer of venue for DCGLUG meeting related to Educationalsoftware

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good points,  I will look into the negative version,  it does look 
better,   I was thinking that we could just display the poster at our 
next meetings.  I guess we will be giving away copies of Linux and other 
software anyway,  not just Linux but cd's like GNU win II and the open 
cd 1.4 (or later if there is one),  Open office in on both I think.

Most people probably don't realise there is an alternative,  let alone 
know that the alternative is free.  I have already installed openoffice 
on at least 2 computers, running XP as those computers did not even come 
with office software.

Just upgraded from 1.1.1. to 1.1.3 perfectly (on windows),  which is 
excellent,  I still think people may get confused with the page about if 
you have a java VM installed.  Using 1.1.3 as part of suse 9.2, 

On the subject of 9.2 and idea why the login screen says suse 9.0??,  weird
