Hey, you're most welcome Ralph.

Yes, Derek has 'the gift of the Linux gab' alright. An interesting 
night. Thanks Derek.

Glad you're on your way making your form ok.

I have to root-start it too. No biggie. Quite an online aid tho.

Having noticed that as well as yourself there are a few newish people 
coming along to GLU more regularly now, it seems a good time to try 
catering for some basic tuition needs again, so I've posted that on both 
the 'Meetings' pages (CLUG & GLU) for next month. I haven't much more to 
report other than what comments have already been posted, unless someone 
asks for a few more ideas..

At any rate, don't be surprised that if questions turn to 'programming 
on the desktop' again, it turns out that you've got as much to share on 
the subject as anyone now Ralph. ;-)

But I can guarantee that we'll be able to at least point to an answer 
for anything that comes up, under a "Linux Beginners" format.

I'm looking forward to it already.

Cheers, Rik
