The meetings have been rather small lately.  I would normally go
(probably with Andre) but tonight doesn't work well for me.   Perhaps
there are others who would attend.

On a different note... what interests do we have regarding Linux?  In
other words what topics should we explore in the future?  I personally
use Linux for video.  Primarily I digitize movies from cable, strip the
commercials, add a menu and turn the result into a DVD.   That's about
'destop' as you can get.  I know others are more interested in networks
and systems.  Are there areas that might make for interesting topics?  eg.

The CLI and useful commands
Favourite applications
New distributions (Ubuntu 8.10 / OpenSUSE 11.1)
Simple programming
Scripting
MC and derivatives
Differences between Window$ and Linux
KDE vs. Gnome
Home networking with Win and Linux machines
A closer look at GRUB
File Systems
Backups

Those are some suggestions.  Maybe they have been covered before? 
Anyway anyone else have an idea or two?  I know the experience level
with attendees is broad so maybe even fairly basic discussions may spark
some interest.

All the best
(One of the other) Peter(s)
