Well done. Obviously your local LUG may be active in spreading the word generally, also you may be interested to know about Infopoint http://infopointproject.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (not Ubuntu specific, but see note) Tomorrow I am handing out Information on Open Source Software (very much featuring Ubuntu) in my local town centre, much to the embarrassment of other family member...... :-) But the world's best kept software secret has got to get out *somehow*! Note: I run an Infopoint table when possible at my local computer fair. Ubuntu family shipit CD packs are well presented and visually attractive and soon become the centre of attention for newbies wanting to move from windows, making the table defacto Ubuntu infopoint! -- ac -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
