Me and Pat (the mate with the M$-free zone) are drumming up business for a local Un*x User Group, and it's amazing who is showing interest. I just found out today that our ISP (halenet) is considering running a BSD Mirror Site. What a spinout!!!! One of the local schools has a Linux server, and the TAFE are considering running a Un*x night course. I feel like I've stepped out of the wilderness, and into /usr/local/heaven! BTW, is your 386 a DX40? (that's the techie coming out in me) Regards Igor ----- Original Message ----- From: Sue Blake To: mlduke Cc: Don Hansford ; Sent: Friday, August 20, 1999 9:41 AM Subject: Re: Yet another newbie > On Thu, Aug 19, 1999 at 03:06:16PM -0600, mlduke wrote: > > > sure.
