Red Hat's a business. No love, no soul. etc. etc. blah blah so what. TriLUG, however, is free to be what Red Hat isn't - a home for Linux enthusiasts. Isn't there SOMETHING going on that we could host this Pilgrim Wanderer, a sister in Linux? An ad-hoc installfest? A Fedora 6 christening? Some Drupal 5.1 work? (http://www.tripug.org/) How about that Drupal meeting "later this month"? I thought you could mumble "Double Mocha Latte - hold the soy" in a crowded room and that was excuse enough to call a TriPUG meeting over at Briar Creek. ALso a bit out of sync for the Triangle Zope/Python folks. http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/camp5/ I've watched the mere emailing of the words "Crazy Fire" generate an ad- hoc TriLUG meeting in minutes... http://triangle.citysearch.com/review/44597848 Heck, there's probably been a knoppmyth release in the time this thread has consumed so far...http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html And...dare we allow her to go back to Ohio without even mentioning that no geek's Sacred Pilgrimage is complete without a visit to Danny's Barbeque, Asheville Avenue Location? (Leaving smoky is half the fun.) http://triangle.citysearch.com/review/6153337 Catherine is carrying around some valuable insights in her head. What's the dual-boot fix for Vista? What happened at CodeMash? She's just touched the new Microsoft Expression product (and has some surprising and interesting commentary) ...as a Linux Admin/Oracle fan, I'd sure like to hear some war stories about Oracle implementation, web interface, etc. on Linux. Just some food for thought..... Catherine, it's your trip and you can do what you damb well please. Hike right on up to the door at Red Hat. But come-on TriLUG - showing human Linuxy goodness is what we do best...aren't we due for a donut-fueled installfest about the end of Feb?
