One thing I love about SLUG is its excellent blend of technical and social elements. There are some great technical presentations and discussions, but at the same time there are plenty of avenues for meeting people and socialising. There is also DebSIG, which I hear is even more informal. Unfortunately, I've never been to make it to one since I don't like to go out drinking in the middle of the week. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but if you called it an onion you'd get cooks very confused." - Richard M.
