I think that we should work out beforehand how we are going to do this. This topic was Adam's suggestion originally, but my thinking on this is that we each choose a distribution, install it on something (full install, a VM or a live install, whichever you prefer) and bring it with us. Then we each spend a few minutes talking about it, what we like about it, what we don't like about it, maybe answer any questions that come up, and then move onto the next person. At the end there should be time for everyone to try the various distributions out. Also, I think that we should each say what we are going to bring beforehand so that we don't end up with duplicates. What do you think? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2011 13:34:31 +0100 From: Adam Egan <adam.egan(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: Re: [Staffslug] April Tech Meeting To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk Message-ID: <BANLkTikV+S6Mzn2WbGnHB4pxKCdqc-duow(a)mail.gmail.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 That was more along the lines of what I was thinking, as not that many of us are going to learn much new from an install fest. And indeed, we don't want 10 people turning up with Ubuntu! I'm going to bring FreeNAS :) Adam On 10 April 2011 12:16, David Boucher <dave(a)davesdomain.org.uk&gt; wrote: > As Dave has said, at the next tech meeting we will be looking at > different types of installs.

The link is: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqMlo1nMj-tydHFLQTd6VmlaUFpTQ2lR... If you have any issue with the link, let me know.
