Greet'z all.

Just to let you know that I will be there on Saturday (yaa! I can see 
you all jumping for joy)

Anyway, Jethro I can pick you up if you want.. just let me know the time 
you want..

Do I need to bring with me a debian install disk or are we just doing an 
k/ubunt or knoppix install this time round?
