[Menai-LUG] Re: Mandrake 9.2 installation problem (and meetings/UWB)

Hi! I'm not sure that I have posted here before.  Anyway I've been
lurking.I no longer use Mandrake*--preferring the ease of Debian--but many
of my friends in UWB halls do.  I think, unless you have a specific reason
not to you should be installing 10.1.  I seem to remember having some
problems installing 9.x on a machine.

*Its quite good, but not even the best one for being similar to Microsoft
Windows (cf. Xandros, &c) or having a negligible learning curve for MSW
users.


Meetings/UWB:
BTW, when do you guys meet?  I'd be interested in coming some time.  

I am also thinking of starting a free-software (esp. but not only
GNU/Linux--also *BSD; Firefox, OO.org, GIMP, &c on MSW/MacOS) club for UWB
students, but am not sure that there is enough demand.

The interim name for the proposed club is Student Order for the Freedom of
Computer Software (SoftFocs or SoftFox--the c and s merge into an x).  If
any students/staff are here present, please
mailto:[email protected] with your opinion of/ideas for such
a club--subscribe at
http://listserv.bangor.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/softfocs-discuss .


Happy hacking/whatever you do,
Yours,
