Nice to see familiar faces, a new face and a face that hasn't left the confines of Norwich for an ALUG meeting before. Sorry about the lack of beer my fault I will make sure I have the bar keys next time.
Various discussions were held about web hosting, firewalls, software patents, the DMCA and its European equivalents, how to circum navigate CD copy protection, hi-fi vinyl turntables and how to stop vibration affecting them also the reason why there was *NO* beer.
Some kit was in evidence with a partial install of Mandrake 9.2 being made (just to test the hardware).
Future meetings were also mentioned with another showing of Revolution OS being requested, so it was decided that it could be screened at the next meeting at Syleham, on the large TV owned by the Syleham and Wingfield Sports and Social Club. Their permission will be sought and it will be scheduled for the last Sunday in Feburary next year, the 29th. This will be a normal Sunday meeting too so feel free to come with or without kit as per usual.
Cheers, BJ

At that time of year John, I trust that by 'kit' you mean hardware?
Closed all the terminals. Clicked on the footprint.
Chose Log out.
Really log out? Chose Yes.
Username and password entered.
Screen goes black for an instant, then Gnome reappears with another session, wanting to know my username and password.
These entered, Gnome is back on the screen.
Gnome Help is no use because there is a 'Could not load default TOC page' message on the Gnome browser.
I'm really pleased that it is so loyal and friendly, but I really would like it to go to sleep sometime.
Apart from an uncontrolled crash landing, someone remind me please, how do I get out of it?

Good start....
Username and password entered.
Don't do that bit! There's a menu that says 'System' on that login screen... Go there, choose shutdown.
Hope that's right, not got a GNOME in front of me at the moment ;)
Brett.

Ha! Thank you. I KNEW there was something else somewhere or other.
I'll tell you when the beer is bottled and ready, and you can come and collect your prize.
