[lug] Boulder Linux Users Group - August 9, 2001 Meeting Summary

[J. Wayde Allen]

I couldn't remember for certain if I'd typed this up yet or
not.  Couldn't find any record of doing so, so figured I'd crank this
out.  Since I'm pretty late in typing this the details are getting kind
of fuzzy in my brain (usually things are kind of fuzzy there anyway).
