[edlug] Talk Thurday 1st March at Hollyrood

["Bob Kerr" <robertnkerr@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

Hello all,

On Thursday 1st march at the Hollyrood Tavern I hope to give a small 
demonstration of Fedora Core 2 beta running on a WD Raptor (Sata) then the 
same machine running on a normal IDE drive. This will be a very short 
demonstration for those that are interested in seeing the speed difference 
between the two. I know there are lots of other important performance 
related issues but I thought this would be of interest.

The machine I will be using will have a DVD and a CD which will both be 
bootable. I will then leave some copies of some live CD's such as Morphix, 
Mandrake Move, E-learnix, Dam small linux , Dynabolic, Freeduc and if 
someone can bring in the DVD from Linux format a couple of months ago then 
the Sun Java Desktop. I intend to let people play with the machine rather 
than me giving any formal talk on live CD's.

The demonstration will be held at 8PM. I will also be hosting a 10min 
(gardeners Question time) slot as suggested by Andrew Smith so that if 
anyone has any questions about  Linux then we can steer the questions to 
those that can answer them.

I would also like to say that I thought the idea of using used CD labels as 
name tags(also by Andrew) was a good idea for name badges, I hope someone 
will bring in some old labels and pens.

At 7pm at the same location (Hollyrood not Hollywood as I mistakenly typed 
the last time : ) ) I would like to hold a discussion on Advocacy and 
forming  a subgroup of EDLUG that deals with this issue.

Many thanks to Gordon for  bringing in his projector to last months meeting 
for the demonstration of Knoppix it made a big difference and was very much 
appreciated.


Cheers

Bob
