Did you do a fresh install or an upgrade?

Do you want stable (8.04) or something a bit more recent (8.10) ?
How much memory do you have? If you want to use anything more than 4GB
RAM then you'll need the 64 bit version. For a
ade, but it's unlikely to cause any
problems. That said, I always prefer to be around for things like that
in case something goes wrong, but if you're happy to provide remote
support then go for it.

Ah, I took an upgrade to mean an apt-get upgrade, rather than a
version upgrade. The dow

The 'how to find us' page has more information [1]. The meetings are
held in the Kilburn building on Oxford Rd, which is a short bus ride

I would really like to go to the Brum Bug Jam this weekend, but
unfortunately it's a bit far away (I'm in Manchester) and I certainly
couldn't get there for 9am. Does anyone know if it's going to be on
IRC as well as RL, or if there's any other way I can take part?
