In which case as soon as ubuntu 8.04 comes out, we need to get an order in for a large number for each venue, how many do you think we would need, who is willing to have them at their place till the event, I would argue, they can be perhaps stored at the venue, or with someone who lives nearby, at least. Ubuntu may not be everyones idea of the best distro, but its well supported by the people that produce, it , as we would need follow up events, after SFD to provide tech support etc. there is no reason why we have other distros on offer. Once the exwick centre is up and running, then we can look at what is available and how we can plan the day, we need to take into account, capacity of building, and fire regulations etc. Paul -- Support open file formats use ISO 26300 Open Document format as used by openoffice.org, http:///www.openoffice.org visit us on IRC - irc.flashtek-uk.com / 6667 #dclug -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GIT d S: a C+++ UL++++ P+ L++ W++ N+ W--- O!
