No converts this week, although I did have two people using a Kubuntu disk to recover data from a laptop belonging to a foreign student at Truro College a couple of weeks back which was nice. I also loaned a Kubuntu installed machine to a family whose Windows machine had died (hardware issue rather than OS problem oddly!) - they are still using it and seem quite at home with it after a very quick tour of the basics - hopefully they will remain converts after they purchase a new system. Other than that, just the usual stuff - testing the Kubuntu 7.04 beta etc. Mark -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
