Hehe well I am determined to wean myself off the 'golden brown' distro one of these days, just built myself an awesome new rig (quad core Q6600, 4G PC-5400, ultra-quiet super-micro tower :-D  )  which really deserves a bit more to be honest! At the moment just gots Ubuntu with a VM or two. Suggestions welcome...

Also noticed the new Asus sub-notebook, targeted at 'educational users' which seems like a good idea:

Comes with Xandros pre-installed though - if I got one I'd have to put proper Deb on there :)

Anyway that's enough fantasising about hardware; yep will hopefully be coming to the meeting, looking forward to it!

Mark
