Given we've not got a long program for this month, I suggest we take up
Eric's request. About 3 years ago I prepared some notes for students at
U of O on equivalent or similar apps between Windows and Linux (Win2Lin
effort). There are on the web likely better and more up-to-date lists.
As a format, I propose we update the OCLUG Wiki as a live build of some
information on this topic. This will also serve to remind folk about the
wiki and how we can use it to promote Linux.
Could I ask for some volunteers who can be ready to make suggestions for
this exercise? That is, folk who will bring along a link or similar
information that we can use as material. Please email me directly to let
me know so we don't clog up the list. nashjc _at_ uottawa.ca.

How about a general discussion on the needs of beginners in Linux
Me being one of them :-))
Coming from Windoz my mind is still GUI based and I have noticed on
Ubuntu forums this subject has arisen a couple of times.
Just a thought as you folks have been so helpful locally.
