All good Simon,
You are in luck as I believe one of the resident Gentoo gurus - Chris
Sawtell - is attending tonight. We'll see what else comes up, but it's
already looking like the evening's theme. Having got a Gentoo install
going (with CLUG help), I have almost reached my pedestrian, workaday
evaluation goal with it, and would put Gentoo in this perspective, in
relation to Canty G/LUG monthly offerings and a kind of 'Linux induction
framework' I think everyone would benefit from us clarifying:
1. Beginners - Ubuntu - GLU
2. Intermediate - Debian - GLU
3. Advanced - various topics + Gentoo - CLUG
Of course this does not preclude anyone starting newbies off on Fedora,
Novell Linux Desktop (Suse), Mandriva, or any other distro they see fit,
outside or inside the monthly meetings. This is just a guideline for
what can consistently be offered, from where we are now (without
Installfest), as a guide to learners.
Discussion welcome, here and/or this evening.

Hi, I would like to bring my Gentoo 2005.0 system along to the users
workshop tonight. I am having some trouble with KDE..

P.S. I have built a basic LIRC serial transmitter and receiver if any one is
interested I have it receiving but not transmitting, I think its software
rather than hardware problem thou. I will bring it along.
What I especially like about Gentoo - as well as the high quality of
users gathered around it - is the clear positivity the Gentoo
documentation shows towards GNU and the Free Software relationship. More
Gentoo, I say!
Cheers, Rik
