RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] First call (was BeerlessGeeks)

["Matthew Ross" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Everything I've heard so far seems to point to installs as the thing to do this meeting. Any other ideas, and if installs, which distro's do we want to use? I have SuSE 8, but I'm sure between us, we have every distro worth using. I doubt we want to do mandrake or RH, unless we want to invite the public (in which case we probably ought to make it an official function rather than just a get-together). Mandrake and RH are fairly straight-forward, and I doubt anyone here would be intrigued by it (but I may be wrong, feel free to correct me).

SuSE is also straight-forward, but it has every option known to man in would-be-convenient-if-there-weren't-so-damn-many menues. It takes an hour to pick everything, so despite the fact that I like it, I don't reccommend it for a meetings install.

Slackware and Debian are more interesting installs, and might provide more entertainment. I've also been considering trying redmond linux, just to see if evil can be transferred by osmosis. ;-)
