I missed the last meeting due to illness, but I got there this time. Only five of us there, but we had a good chat about various Linux topics including:

• FreeNX - Powerful remote desktop software. I have tried it at home, but need to have another look.
• Webmin - web-based server administration system. Interesting, but I'm not sure I need it for now.
• Multi-user systems - running multiple screens, keyboards and mice on one PC is a neat way to share a resource. It would be handy for when more than one person wants to use our home computer without having to start up another one just to start a session with FreeNX or similar.
• There was also some discussion on how to get more people to participate in the LUG. The IRC channel is useful, but only used by a few people. Other on-line options include Jabber and GnomeMeeting (seems to be called Ekiga now), but someone would need to help set those up.

We almost had another person from near me come along, but he was ill. I found his site using GeoURL that locates sites using coordinates in the page header. If more people in the LUG used it then we could use it as an alternative to Frappr. Good though that service is, I would prefer to use something that is more in the spirit of the Semantic Web.
