> Anyway, no offense Tim, I wasn't trying to target you = ) You brought up a point that as linux becomes more prevalent, companies will likely become more dependent upon the resources of their local lug groups. However I think most of the contribution from the lug won't be any different than it is today. Petersen-Arne has gained a lot from Euglug, but through me as the medium. Similarly Tim's company and yours also benefit from euglug. This is much different than a company coming to euglug and saying, "Hey guys how about you come set me up a linux network for free?" uh.. We'll email you if you like, but if you want onsite service hire one of us as a consultant. Currently euglug is not setup to facilitate helping out businesses for free except charitable/non-profits/schools on a volunteer basis or via membership on the email list. I don't know where you were in 2000. Look at this link for the old minutes that were posted to the list: http://www.euglug.org/reviews.phtml Looks like here is one of the first times I actually showed up at a clinic Oct 12, 2000. I was running multiple screen savers as my background at the same time and Tim wrote down how to do it. I still have this laptop!: http://www.euglug.org/minutes.phtml?id=8 Those were pre 2.4 kernel and pre 4.0 X days, when the anticipation was so thick it could be cut with a knife!
