[wellylug] Meetings for 2009

[Peter Lynch]

Lindsay,

I would be keen to take you up on this offer.  I have a PC which I would
like to get Linux installed on.  My preference is for Debian, as I have
Etch install cds. The hardware I have was purchased from Ascent in 2004,
so I hope it is up to the job.  Here are the specs:

Gigabyte GA-7VM400AM motherboard, Socket 462, 333MHz FSB, 2xDIMM, DDR,
8XAGP, 3xPCI, 6xUSB 2, Video 
AMD Sempron 2400+, 1.67GHz, 333MHz, Socket 462, Retail pack with fan 
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST340014A, 40 GB, 7,200rpm, 2048K cache,
ATA-100, Fluid Bearing Hard Disk 
TwinMOS 512MB, DDR-SDRAM, DIMM, DDR400 
Colors-it C8002-C43, Mid Tower Case, 350W ATX PSU, Blue + Keyboard,
Mouse and Speakers 

I also want to be able to use a newly acquired webcam - DSE XH 5223 -
and get my wife chatting to her brother and family in London.

My software requirements are:
- r/w access to my windows partitions (4 in total)
- ability to use a usb key
- email client that can integrate with my Pegasus Mail files
- Java ide
- MySQL
- WinMerge equivalent
- genealogy software
- Firefox/Iceweasel
- Putty ssh client

Let me know if you're happy to help.

Regards
Peter Lynch

I would be happy to host small weekend meetings here at 470 Evans Bay
Parade. Good buses and parking. Cable internet.
