yes yes. i think that this is a far more practical idea - cantalug building up its own collection of resources (ie a library). i for one have several practical books, on linux & programming, which i'd be happy to donate, along with a bundle of software & distros on cdroms. i'm sure others here would be willing to do much the same - spare not so old textbooks anyone? and then there's all of the goodies various companies, esp from usa, give out to lug's. the dundin dudes could help us out here re who to contact etc. drew?
as for public knowing about this and us - we should get on to having the group listed in the CINCH database one of these days. and how about a regular ad in buy-sell-exchange? just my spare change's worth cheers peter PS: and if no one else is keen i'm happy to play librarians ....... ====================================== On Fri, 02 Nov 2001 14:33:21 +1300 Drew Whittle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Or you could get the companies to give you these things for nothing, as > DunLUG has, checkout whats in our library at > http://dunedin.lug.net.nz/library.html most of this stuff has been > donated by the companies that produce it.
