I will be coming. I would very much like a bit of help from an X-11 guru to 
help me get this drm and frame-buffer stuff going properly.

That won't take long so I will also be available to help with problems also.
Hopefully the social intercourse will make for a pleasant evening.

Please don't expose any newbie to the literary ravages out of the Smoothwall 
crew. I understand that they are just as bad as ever they were and it could 
well put them off Linux for ever!

I will bring a Gibraltar CDROM and at the other end of the scale a 
floppy-firewall diskette. We are going to be playing with them at Avonmore on 
Saturday, so there is just an off-chance that I might remember what I did to 
get them going.
