[OT] [Seriously-OT] [plug] Demon Internet.?

[John Morcos]

ive used the irc channels before and they were really great maybe you should
try ome of those, i think there are other linux user groups in other states
of australia

i used the debian channel and it was great i think there was three different
people
helping me one night and some of them were really quite cluey.

i found the irc channels on the debian site and the mandrake one the same
then you just #the topic you want and usually there is channel
hope that helps

i like to think that we have some cluey people in perth thou
