Girls (and guys)... I don't mind chipping in myself... A pound or 2 won't make me or break me...
By the way - FEDORA CORE 2 is now released! 4 ISOs + 1 ISO for a rescue CD. Of course if you want sources you would need to add more CDs - another 4 I believe. Will be installing later on this week - watch this space. ________________________________ Kevin Attard Compagno Malta Linux User Group (http://linux.org.mt) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip Serrracino Inglott Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Malta Linux User Group - general list Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] How you can contribute to the MLUG Mario Debono wrote: >An outing sounds good.

It seems to me that OSS is so heavly dominated by males! is it just my impression? if there are any female users of linux out there please raise your hand >Mario > > > >On Monday 24 May 2004 10:25 am, Keith Vassallo wrote: > > > >>Hello everybody, >> >>It has now been around 4 months since a committee was elected and we >>have started some projects regarding the MLUG.
