I have an XO laptop and might even go to my very first WLUG meeting (after having been on the mailing list for a couple of years.)
I would also like to see how the mesh networking looks in action.

HI Everybody,
The topic of this upcoming meeting will be the XO laptop from the One
Laptop per Child project. I'll lead the discussion with a demonstration
of the hardware and software features of the laptop.
If you have an XO laptop, please bring it, as I haven't yet had a chance
to try out the mesh networking, and it would be fun to try in a live demo.
Remember: Thursday, Jan 17th, 2008, 7:00 PM on the WPI campus in
Worcester, MA USA, in the Access Grid room on the ground floor of Morgan
Hall (ok, its the wedge between Morgan and Daniels).
Afterwards, we'll head out of pizza at a restaurant chosen by the group.
See ya there,
Andy

Thanks

Fedora Disapointment
by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com
I understand that my laptop is old. Every time I've upgraded Red
Hat/Fedora, I've liked the new system until Fedora 8. I didn't always
upgrade. I skipped Fedora 7 since the live CD didn't boot on my
laptop but Fedora 6 ran great. Fedora 8 is a dog with my small amount
of memory (256M). I'm thinking I'll buy more memory but it
disappoints me that Fedora runs poorly with 256M. (I would buy a new
laptop but I'm just not impressed with the current offerings.)

I hope you're bringing enough for everybody. :)
For VNC, if you can get it (I hope you'll spend a minute or two on the
packaging system) or build it, "x11vnc" requires virtually no setup
and lets you export your current X session to a VNC client,

CRT
by Mike Leo
thanks to all who responded to my request for a CRT.
I have one now that will most likely work. If not, i'll ping those who responded and make arrangements.
Happy New Year!
