Re: [PLUG] PLUG N Follow-up: Gentoo and other

[Richard Freeman <r-plug@thefreemanclan.net>]

Thanks -

Anyone interested can download the slides at:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~rich0/IntroGentoo.odp

A few other Gentoo presentations can be found at:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/pr/docs/presentation-listing.xml

If anybody is interested in any other Gentoo-related topics feel free to 
ask - I might be able to present something in the future.  I'm already 
feeling the urge to get Gentoo Prefix working in a few unusual 
environments and give a talk on that, maybe after I write up something 
on neatx.

Also - if there is interest in any of the other PLUG venues for a repeat 
of the talk let me know.
