PS. Adam, I like the guide idea, that could actually tie in with the linux for chocolate idea because the people that know something about what they are doing can have contacts on the profile page thing i mentioned above.<br>
<br>*notices that this is becoming a good idea, rather than a theory*<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/08/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kris Douglas</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:webbox.uk@gmail.com">webbox.uk@gmail.com

I agree, people need bandwidth to burn for mirrors. I do not have a problem with bandwidth...
<br><br>What about this Linux for chocolate idea, how about we have a page with a profile of people that want to take part in the project, and have information on what distros they have experience with, and what area they are in...etc.

hmm a distrobution review type service would be good, I&#39;m quite guilty<br>or rotating distros or trying new releases of distros just to see what<br>its like. It&#39;d be great for us maybe &quot;more experienced&quot; users to give
<br>an actual real-world review of distrobutions, this could be fed back<br>into the distrobutions projects as a bug/feature request type thing<br>but at the same time be a guide for people want to switch distro or<br></span>
for newbies starting out.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe this could include a score system reg
<span class="q"><br>marks out of ten, if we reviewed enough distros we could say &quot;The<br>Staffs LUG has reviewed many distros and most like/use XXXXX&quot;.<br><br>Also I don&#39;t often use mailing lists however this mailing list seems
