Hi John.

Sounds great.

        Since I'm still a newbie and would like to learn Linux. I'm happy
that there is a source on the net for Linux tutorials.
Bob Meyer handed out copies of Mandrake 8.0 the other month and I'm going to
install it soon on one of my systems.
I was wondering though. Is there a site on the web that hosts tutorials on
installing software; and how to install and use Wine to emulate windows
programs? Or is the topics I mentioned explained in the tutorials at the
Mandrakecampus site?
If it is not could you tell me if you know of any sites that my have the
information I need to understand how to use Linux as well as I know how to
use Windows.

        By the way when is the next meeting? Is there one scheduled for this
month (ie: July) or is there a summer recess?
Let me know if so.
