correct site is norcal-hug.org I'm in Rohnert Park, so not too far from Santa Rosa when you're up this way. Have you ever been to any of the NBLug meetings? I go to about 2-3 a year, when I'm not busy with other things. Did you take any classes at SRJC? I've taken quite a few computer and math classes there the last few years. I switched over to using Ubunutu on my home laptop a few months ago and am happy with it for the most part. I have an older laptop so luckily Haiku runs on it just fine. I need to check newer builds on my newer laptop to see if it boots on that one yet. I last checked it a few weeks ago and it was still a no go, although it works in a vm on there. I'm guessing it's the IDE driver. On Jan 30, 2008 2:13 PM, William Tracy <afishionado@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Jan 30, 2008 10:06 AM, Jorge G. Mare (a.k.a.
