Thanks to everyone who came, especially to Rhia, Tom and Paul who came up from Torquay. Lots of interesting discussion, subjects varied broadly, from how much the speccy sucked (Kidding Rhia.. honest ;))) to how we can perhaps encroach onto school installs with opensource applications and operating systems. Multiboot USB sticks were mentioned and I incorrectly stated that there was a recent article on www.webupd8.com when in fact it was OMG!Ubuntu and the link is: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/easily-create-multiboot-usb-stick.html Seems a very simple way to setup such a system. I shall be redo'ing my own I think. I was also asking about languages suitable to teach a 9year old, Tom suggested the system that is included in the EToys package which I had looked at previously. I would prefer something like old skool Basic though. I can't really recall much else. The meeting overran slightly, by around 1hr45mins, ho hum ;) Thank you to Paul for bringing up a few Ubuntu 10.04 install disks and informational posters for promotion. I shall also be making up a poster for Holsworthy Computer Services shop to pop up, as Andrew had suggested we have one permanently on display. Next meeting is on August 21st which is the 3rd saturday of the month again. -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
