Is this really a Linux user group?

[Jason Carson]

Hello Xane,

It seems you subscribed just at the wrong time :-)

Prior to the "Today is the day" thread which was fairly long and changed
into the "Public transit" thread there where discussion on SPF, Ubuntu on
a USB stick, technical predictions, Apache and Dell computers, So don't
fret, Linux and technology are discussed here all the time.

Personally I like some off topic discussion, you get to know the views of
others and get to know them as people as well as learn all kinds of other
stuff.

Cheers,

Jason
