[AuckLUG] Re: AuckLUG Digest, Vol 16, Issue 23

Ron - I have a copy of "Studio 64" which I think is better than Fedora
.. its a 64 bit distro, so you will need an Athlon or Opteron or
similar.

I too  got frustrated with Fedora 5. 

I don't live too far away from you, so I could probably come and spend
a few minutes with you.

Hi All,
        Can anyone tell me if there is a specific Fedora group anywhere

in N.Z.that I might be able to contact ?.

I have just updated from FC4 to FC5 and am beside myself with rage at 
the functions and applications that I have either lost or which will
not 
now function.

I am a newbie , as is probably obvious and I also have health and 
mobility problems ,and therefore cant get around to LUG meetings like I

would like to .

However I am a committed (or should be ) Linux user and I refuse to let

all this @#$%^ get me down.

I am looking for someone in the Southern hemisphere who I can have a 
chat with by phone (at my expense) about various problems I am
encountering.

I use all the Forums ,and while they are great in as much as one can 
send  great screeds of /etc log files winging back and forth they are 
still no replacement for a good bitch session on the phone about what
is 
working and whats not.

At the moment I have chained myself to the back door to prevent myself

throwing my whole set up down the gully.

If Linux is ever to make inroads into the tar spread path that M$ has 
lead us down ; we need some kind and helpful co-operation.
What about it ?

I'm not sure how to do it but if you reply to me on this forum I'm sure

we can find some way of swapping communication details to nobodies 
disadvantage

Well ?
Regards
Ron Johns

specific 
Fedora group.

Hi Ronald

I live in Grey Lynn. I'm not a linux guru by any means but I have been
using
it for five years now so can get most things ticking over. Email me off
list
as well if you want to make contact.

Cheers

Hansel
