Hi Dan, Not only are there lots of aussies on this list (I'm in Adelaide) but my sister lives in Warwick too. Her son is mad keen on getting into unix in a big way, so please keep us informed if you get your user group going! Cheers, Chris :) P.S. Of course this said nephew will have no choice but to run fbsd or else Aunty will stop sending nice CD's full of goodies <G> And yes, we also have 386's merrily running fbsd!
