Hi regarding the text colour no, thats as far as I got. Some other good news
is I managed to get my Fedora laptop on my wireless lan using MADWIFI and a
Netgear WG11T PCMCIA card, and of course a few printouts of howtos from the
net, I had to ditch teh Belkin card as I was using ndiswrapper but it kept
complaining about wanting a firmware file.. looked a bit too complicated for
a noob like me, I learned from a friend that the 108mbps Netgear cards use
the Atheros chipset which work well with MadWiFi, so far so good......
Cheers for the welcome, i'd liek to try and get to one of the meetings if I
can just to meet everyone and find out more about linux!
I realised that it is going to be difficult if nigh on impossible to fully
migrate from windows to linux unless I am prepared to ditch a lot of useful
software, But then I guess as I get more competent with linux I will find a
way (WINE??) to run some of the win32 apps on linux.
Thanks again
Richard

As I have not been around much lately (due to work and personal
reasons), I was wondering what is happening in regards to the March PLUG
meeting. Not seen any e-mails about the meeting. Anybody have any
thoughts as to what will be covered and if there will be a meeting this
month?

The meeting is scheduled for 7.30pm on Tuesday 27th March at the rugby
club.
I have not seen any suggestions for topics, I know that Ed wanted to
look at Compiz on Ubuntu.
I think that one of the main topics needs to be the distinct lack of
activity within PLUG and on the mailing list in recent times!
There is also the new web site design to finish off from a content point
of view.
Hope to see you on Tuesday.

Hopefully, I should be there. The last time that I was at the Rugby
club, I had to leave early (courtesy of the wife)! But anyways, I'll
sort things out this time - I'll just turn off the mobile phone! :)
The Ubuntu topic could be discussed. Question is - what version of
Ubuntu is to be used? I've got several versions already downloaded.
I've also have the latest RC of Mepis - which includes Beryl & nVIDIA
drivers (not the gpl version) within the distro itself.

I think he's on Dapper (Ed, jump in anytime if I've got this wrong) as
am I on my desktop. It's something I have just not got round to at the
moment so wouldn't mind a look myself if someone knows how to set it up.

The latest beta of Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn is nice - I'm running it on my
home desktop. It also integrates Beryl really nicely (it's not in the
default install but it's a 1- or 2-click upgrade).

How friendly are we with the rugby club? Do they have satellite and TV
we'd be able to get access to?
I have just got a Linux-based media centre box, which it might be fun to
play with. It has twin satellite decoders on it (ie it plugs directly
into the satellite cable, not into the Sky box). So far I've spent very
little time with it but it might be fun to experiment with it.

Did you get any further with this?
I've just realised that you've come here and introduced yourself and had
no response from anyone, which isn't very friendly at all! Unfortunately
I don't know the answer to your questions otherwise I'd have chipped in
earlier, but I thought someone should at least say hello to you!
You are very welcome here, of-course, even if it does go silent from
time to time.
