The AUUG / SLUG / SAGE meeting was held at the Occidental Hotel in town on Thur 16 May. My apologies for not giving earlier notice to the speakers (Del and Anthony) nor to members, but I was only just reminded of this 'comittment' at the last minute. Basically this went very well. There was quite a mixed level of previous exposure to Linux, from very enthusiastic users to vaguely heard of before. Anthony held the floor for some time fielding questions until Del turned up (at the right time). Several of the questions were about comparisons with FreeBSD. Del 'started from scratch' but spoke well about Linux in general, again turning to questions to get a better feel for the audience's expectations. The meeting only lasted about an hour (many jokes about comparisons with SLUG meetings where we do go on a bit), but the response was very favourable. I really had the sense that people were excited by the possibilities of Linux. There was a great deal of interest in the dates and times of SLUG. Jamie
