I may be a newly found Mac user but my main pc is still running Linux (if I turn it on) and I still see that platform as having a future.
For the Dutch Linux users (=enthousiasts) there is a Linux Meeting this Saturday. For some strange reason it is located in Tiel, but it may just be worth the trip. The programme for the day looks interesting and it is a good opportunity to meet likeminded individuals.
Depending on how this week develops (and if they have conference WiFi) I will be there. If you're also coming, please make a comment to this post.
