Surely you mean 1st April ? (Sorry for picking nits, but I thought I had
missed the meeting when I first saw your message.)

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
