Hi All, I realize that this is short notice but, IF POSSIBLE, would someone be able to bring a copy of a Linux distro to the meeting tonight. I'm flying to NS on Friday and would like to set up Linux on my notebook and work with it a bit as it's all Greek to me right now. I'll bring a bunch of blank CD's an a notebook if burning is necessary or can simply replace yours with blanks.
Again, I'm new at Linux so would like to spend my spare time on holiday tinkering with it. Thanks for the place to yell and shout! And also, thanks to those involved in the Install Fest. Nice to meet you all and especially the chap that set up my system for me!!
