. Therefore the assumption is that the
meetings are important. I would also say that the meeting on Friday, which

From what I can make out - the pressure for further consultation on Open
Standards actually originated in part from BIS (Vince Cable's Dept) if this is
correct:

and Google earth - I did have it working a couple of versions ago of
Kubuntu, but not any more. Something for me to occupy my time with when
the kids have gone back home on Tuesday.
See Google Earth offers 32 and 64 bit downloads for Debian/Ubuntu and

Had a lot of trouble putting Puppy on it, had to use an old build as the
latest would not go on.

Of course don't forget if you are keen on running Libre or Open Office you
still might struggle a bit with the latest versions of these on low spec

They had an article about training in the Linux Advantage, which made me aware

This is slightly off the type of info usually discussed on the Dorset LUG but I
found it somewhat amusing on a trip to my local Boscombe Wilko branch today
