[conspire] CABAL this weekend? - I presume yes, this Saturday

[Texx]

I need to set up a serious Linux machine for professional development.
Need to chat this weekend about what hardware and which releases people
recommend.
I can only go so far on a wimpy virtualbox vm.

Hope to see you all on Sat.
