SoSLUG Mailing List

For some time SoSLUG had a mailing list this was a general mailing platform and still is but our efforts to enable people to subscribe and unsubscribe where prohibited, well we have now sorted out our mail server problems and can give prospective members the opportunity to subscribe and unsubscribe to the list as they so choose.

We had some problems regarding automatic newsletter subscription relating to configuration changes we made to prevent unauthorised post to the list - This we hope is now resolved if you have any further difficulties please send you post along with the error to derek AT soslug DOT org we will be happy to look at your email subscription problem.

SoSLUG O'Reilly Book Reviews

Today Friday 17th April SoSLUG have received our very first package from O'Reilly User Group Programme, consisting of three brand new books which we can review, only one of which seems to be from the O'Reilly press. Anyway on offer are three books for us to review, we should I think make as much use of this facility as possible.

At SoSLUG it seems we need to celebrate something and given the new releases of Ubuntu have always fell on a Thursday we thought we throw a launch party. Perhaps not a party in the usual sense of the word, as what we aim to do is a mini install fest. Hopefully, we will have early copies of the release candidate 32 bit Intel version to give away.
