I am really enjoying reading what you all have to say on the forum and as a non-techie I am learning a lot. Just joined Freshmeat- not sure what it is...recommended to me by Baz. For Fatma- you should take this person seriously.....Ubuntu is really important in education, and a volunteer introducing a school to open source would be as asset. Caroline

I personally used to be very much more forum oriented. However, I now find all I want in the lists; which are much more specific, and just as active (and in the same kind of way) as the forums. Plus, I get it all sorted and presented nicely. I also use IRC a lot - it's live and instantaneous unlike the forums or lists. On Thu, 2007-01-04 at 10:08 +0000, alan c wrote: > Mr W. F.
