Maybe there could be an open session starting before the regular meeting for people with linux issues, a few experienced people could be there early to answer questions, or help with install /upgrades. If the newbie could give some advanced notice it would make it easier to have what ever might be needed available (CD, cables, adapters...). This time could also be used by the presenter to get everything setup. -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
