Just to inform you, last sunday the Hungarian Pegasos User Group had a meeting. Our main theme was mainly the troubles of Linux and MacOnLinux installation, but we also discussed network setup on MorphOS among other things. We also had some visitors, who were amazed by the capabilities of the Pegasos. It was also possible for them, to use and test the machines as they like, of course. We made some pictures on the event, and they're available here.

Paris, France -- By Decree of the President of the Republic, 14 May 2004, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Michel Barnier has conferred the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite (Knight of the National Order of Merit) on William H. Buck, Co-General Manager of Genesi.

"For me this recognition is a source of considerable pride," said Buck.

The National Order of Merit rewards meritorious service to society. It is the second-highest civilian award accorded by France. Its insignia is a star with six double branches in blue enamel, surmounted by a crown of crossed oak-leaves. In its center, framed by laurel-leaves, figures an effigy of the Republic with, in exergue, "République Français."
