Bob,

Perhaps that would be a good idea. We could cover basic Linux installs, post OS 
installation tweaks, installing software using the package manager or from 
source code and some basic trouble shooting.

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

Can we not organise a few evenings or something and do installs and some basic 
open source stuff. Intro workshops or whatever, like its been talked about but 
never really happens? My knowledge is about as basic as Johns and I have been a 
member for club for years. Any takers? Bob
