Bog Roll ::

I've now got my better half migrating from MS Windows 98 to Debian Sarge. It was easy to copy her email from Eudora to Mozilla.org Thunderbird, and her Mozilla.org Firefox bookmarks.

A few things are strange yet, but I'm sure she'll be able to get the hang of it quickly enough, Debian/KDE is a lot more modern and feature rich than Windows 98.

I set my system up first as Debian Etch, and then copied what I did for her, so it's been pretty painless, certainly easier than installing and configuring Windows 98/NT/2K. I've got one small kdm oddity yet, but I'll fix that soon enough.

I've scheduled the first meeting of the "Overton Parish Linux Society" for this Tuesday 12 July at 7:30pm in my garden (weather permitting). Looks like virtually no one is going to be free, but if I don't invite people then no one will come at all.

Summer is a bad time to start anything with holidays and such like, so you could consider this a soft launch for autumn...
