[olug] identd still not working

[barlow]

never mind guys. since we last talked i have went back to windows where i
feel safe because i know it. i do however have several distros of linux. i
have caldera,mandrake,debian,and conectiva. they are all the latest version
seeing that i downloaded them all over the past few weeks. i would like to
give them to the group to add to the on hand supply at the meetings.
somebody let me know where to mail them and i will send them. thanks for all
your help. i dont think i'm ready for linux yet.
