Hi, I'm the xhen at paradise. My real name is Tony Patterson. I'd be keen to come along on that day, I'll probably have my 7 year old son in tow, would there be any other kids there to kept him hanging off my shirttails all day long? :) I have a Dell P4 3GHz machine which is dualbooted at the moment with Xp and my attempts at getting Gentoo up and going. It has a Dell Soundblaster Live card in it which has defied my repeated attempts to get alsa working. I think I gave 50-60 gb space for the linux partition and it has 1Gb ram.
I am car deprived at the moment but depending on where it is I don't mind lugging it over on the bus :) Thanks Tony > A few people expressed interest in coming along to Robert's Rooomy > Garage [1] to have gentoo installed.[2] > > I have it on good authority that we should have access to the 2005.0 > release in time to do this on Saturday 9 April.
