OK these may be older boxes, but Windows XP is still a useable operating sytem, more importantly if it can run XP then it should be able to run Linux of some sort even if its with XFCE. Given the rup off merchants pounced when it came to the year 2000 issues, i can see something similar happening in 18 months time as people try to cash in and convice people you need to upgrade XYZ at an over inflated cost. An opportunity for the lug to perhaps offer clear, real word advice adn gain some sort of recognition at the same time. OH and perhaps convert a few more boxes to Linux :D Paul - -- Paul Sutton - www.zleap.net DCGLUG MEETINGS Next Paignton Lug meet : 3pm Saturday June 5th - Shoreline Next Holsworthly meet : 2pm Saturday June 19th - White Hart -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvq92oACgkQaggq1k2FJq3+lgCgkFtPsT8Pv4Ojr1pBb6VzeFib vTUAoIy1a9VXRkwLzUwdOFtkaey1YXYq =EUai -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
