moRe: BLU meetings - what would you like to see?

[pfarrar at learningco.com (pfarrar at learningco.com)]

     I'd like to see some comparisons of Linux to other Unix's, especially 
     freely available one's (like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc).
     
     Is there really such a thing as free ice cream?  How about free 
     computers?
     
     b) Novices quickly rise to the level of the people around them
        TRUE
     
     I like the idea of some posted background information for the 
     beginner.  It could really help them (us) come to the meetings with a 
     better clue as to what's going on.  Christoph has been doing this 
     already, with his soup docs.  It's a time(==$) issue though.  Who has 
     the time to prepare and post detailed information?
     
     Truth is, I'm usually in class Wednesday nights.
     
     I'd like to see Thursday night meetings.

You know, I had a page or two written to repond to all this, but I'll just 
give you the Cliff notes.
     
        a) Providing handouts costs money
        b) Novices quickly rise to the level of the people around them
     
WOW! I just added another page of ranting... and here's the summary...
     
        c) Free Ice Cream  ;-)
     
PS> I worked on the SAMBA presentation some more while I was on a business
    trip in Kentucky.  I'll post the updates soon.
