Hey, I'd buy a hat, and a t-shirt if it was available.
I really did enjoy attending the meeting.
It seems to be a good group and I like the direction that you guys are
going.
I'm sorry I can't devote more time, but hopefully in the future I will be
able to help out more.
I do plan on tagging around, going to the meetings and helping out where
timepermits.
If I may make a suggestion. Is there any chance that we may get a web based
forum going.
Not that I don't dislike the emails. It just seems like it would help with
some discussions that may happen in the future.
Just wondering...maybe you guys already looked into it. Or the email is the
best solution.
This would allow for topics. Like opinions of the different
flavors/distributions.
It would be nice to have some sort of central place to have comments on the
different setups and components people have.
Experience with software people have had like vmware, samba, novell clients.
Favorite links for linux specific stuff.
anyway...
-Phil
