Slackware Users Belfast: A new Slackware Linux group for Belfast, Northern Ireland. One that actually works.

good luck!
i remember the old belfast LUG's.... those were the golden days of redhat 4 and suse 1... *nostalgic sigh*

Thanks for the message. I’m too recently involved with Open Source operating systems to have been involved with earlier distro versions. My experience with FreeBSD 5.1 and 5.2.1 led me to evaluate and settle upon Slackware Linux 9.1, and currently, 10.0. I thought it would be a good idea to introduce some fresh impetus into the user group community in Belfast, since so many have fallen by the wayside, or are listed in Google, but are all a dead end, as far as I could ascertain.

I chose Slackware because it is a good choice, which is well supported, and is more amenable to customising, etc, than most of the current crop of distros, good as they are.

Am new to Linux but would like to meet other Belfast linux users/programmers to discuss possible project. Will this Slackware users group meet up etc? Any Debian users in NI out there?
...and yes www.belfastlinux.org takes you nowhere (ghost ship?)

Hi Londoncall,

It is intended that this group will hold meetings in Belfast. If you would like to discuss your project and arrange to meet up, let me know.

Charles.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. A meet up would be great... evenings are good for me. Let me know where and when.

Hi Londoncalling,

Sometime this week should be okay. let me have a phone number on subinfo@urenabled.com and I'll give you a call.
