If yes, then you should see the status page for the OpenDNS servers. This means that DNS has not been set up properly in your Ubuntu 9.10 install. You can fix this problem by going to the terminal and typing: /sudo apt-get install resolvconf/. If you did not see the OpenDNS status page then there may be a problem with your network settings (Are you on DHCP?).

If she doesn't like Ubunutu I'd suggest try Pclinuxos KDE - more familiar for ex Windows users :-) My first successful Linux was Mandriva (10 I think), and when they went all corporate, I looked around and tried lots of flavours. Can't remember them all ... Mepis, Debian, DSL, Slackware, Knoppix, Suse, Vector, ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, and others, but stuck with Pclinuxos ..... been about 7 years now, though I do still try other flavours from time to time :-) Anyway - hope she finds one she enjoys :-) Cheers Rose -- Registered Linux User No: 386597 http://counter.li.org "The most beautiful thing in life we can experience is the mysterious.

Does anyone have access to or a suggestion for a venue they feel would be suitable for the meetings? Requirements / what would be nice to have: * An internet connection where a couple of gigabytes can be used each month - people often bring in machines and install updates - maybe a Ubuntu apt-proxy mirror could be handy here * Access to spare monitors/keyboards/mice/IEC leads/4 way boards/patch cables/switch ports or space where this could be stored * We have never really had it before, but tea and coffee facilities may be appreciated. Gold coin koha maybe. Ideas could include schools, businesses, garages or possibly a community hall or possibly the EIT.
