[NBLUG/talk] I'm Going To Switch To Linux

[Paul Larkin]

Since you've obviously found the list, you must be aware of the 
monthly meeting. Why not go to one, the next one being next Tues., 
introduce yourself & get a lot more opinions?  I don't think at all 
of the playstation 2 but that's the topic this month.  June's appears 
to tentatively be the Linux kernel [& how to not split infinitives] & 
I hope I get to that one.
