	Rather than beg Bj?rn to perform an encore of last month's excellent short 
notice presentation work, Michael and I decided to offer the June ALE Central 
meeting as a casual Swag Fest / Swap Meet / Switch Board kind of affair.

	Swag Fest because Michael was recently gifted a large volume of Linux related 
trade show type promotional items to distribute to the group. 

	Swap Meet because everyone is invited bring along any hardware items they 
would like to sell, swap or see stored in someone else's basement.

	Switch Board because we'll have an extended opportunity to help each other 
solve problems,  answer questions, compare distros and discuss at length the 
many merits of using Vi instead of Emacs and consider why KDE is so slow and 
awkward compared to Gnome. ;-)

	Anyone willing haul in and set up a system for "experiments" or internet 
access, please feel free. I will be bringing my media explorations box, 
(currently a Mandrake 10.0 install) in addition to a couple power strips, a 
few enet cables and a 5 port switch. I also intend to have a couple of 
current distro sets on hand for the asking (FCFS). At the least I'll have one 
5 CD set of SuSE 9.1 pro, plus one or two 4 disk sets of Mandrake 10.0 
official and a copy or two of the latest KNOPPIX  release 3.4-040517, .

	Who knows... a Swag Fest / Swap Meet / Switch Board meeting may prove a  
pleasant break from the usual monthly fare, so I'll hope to see y'all there!

peace
