[KLUG Members] Meeting 2004-03-09 - DEEP TECH: Kernel 2.6

[Peter Buxton]

By the way... anyone who has had troubles compiling 2.6, or wants to try
it, can bring their machine in and I'll help you give it a go after the
presentation. My current hands on distro experience is limited to
Debian, but hopefully I'll be adding Slackware to that knowledge.
