I did go. Really wish you could have made it too. Your greater experience with Knoppix would have saved my embarrassment.
"DBUG was established in the early 80s to provide a forum for early computer users to educate one another. As computers evolved so has DBUG, progressing from operating systems such as CPM, DOS and Windows 3.1, to the present Windows 95/98/ME/XP."
It was a small group of five (if you include Anna).
If you do go, can you take some OpenCDs and Knoppix CDs with you?
I took some OpenCD 1.4.1, Knoppix 3.6, and Xandros OCE. Had just enough for those that were there. Then they invited me to demo the Knoppix once it got booted up. I wasted too much time with incorrect IPs number trying to get onto the Internet, never did succeed even after someone found correct IP numbers.
Could get everything right in ifconfig, but didn't know how to restart networking. Still don't know what I was doing wrong. At least I have the correct IP numbers now.
So, went on to just some general questions and so on about Debian vs. RedHat distros, Xandros OCE vs. Standard vs. Professional, stuff on the OpenCD, etc. Jumped around a lot and didn't have enough time to do justice to all topics.
They were happy, even though I felt a failure because I could not get onto Internet with Knoppix. Of course one member of the audience was therefore convinced that Linux was too hard.
Gave out my card and mentioned SLUUG web site with links to other LUGs. Rattled off a number of LUG meeting dates and times. Invited all to tomorrow's STL LUG meeting.
