My reply is of two folds.

2. Finally, to those that advised me to use Linux. I have been tryin to move over to it. After losing all my important files and hard disk in general(trying to install Oracle Linux 4 - bad bootin manager) , I am finally running Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista happily. I am still trying to load Netbeans 6.1 on it. So thanks. Despite the fact that I wept for losin my files. I have now spent more than 100 hours working on Linux.

Good to hear you've taken up Linux, you should also know that most times- a bad boot manager is not enough to loose all your files. Its really hard to loose everything(except through physical damage), so next time ask around so you won't loose crucial files.

There used to be one Java User Group lagos created many years back.

Yeah i did a search on yahoo group myself and found but its sooooo inactive and its the usual naija style, peeps not being technical looking for job openings and all, this one is a bit different though,

No hating, just my opinion

Thanks, I know i don't have to loose all my files just becos of a boot manager problem. But in this case I needed my system up and running at the shortest time possible, and i didn't have d neccessary tools nor patience to wait long.

My system is now up n runnin, use my desktop and friends to recover some files(lost all most of my designed applications though.)

Lesson left: BACK UP ALL UR IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAJOR INSTALLATION OR UPDATES

It was actually active for a while . I think it was formed around 1998 by one guy can't remember his name again we even had a couple of meetings but getting a location for the meeting was a problem back then.

Agreed a lot of the guys coming to the meeting then were java novices but when it was suggested we start working on a practical project guys lost interest and the group died.

Yeah, thats what happens jare my brother, lets hope we get it right this time, u don join?

Hello Moderator, Are we goin to allow this thread to Die? I don't think so. I think all members of JAND should try and reach out to other Java Nigeriand Programmers to encourage them to join the group.

Also, I think we should make it a point of duty to visit this site everyday and post news, important Java events, resources we want to share,, etc. To keep this thread alive and untop of the Programming section of the Forum.

My only reservation is d fact that i ain't a big fan of yahoo groups!!!
My opinion is that a forum, independent of yahoo groups be sought.

Enough said , I'll say we all members of the Java Nigerian Group should officially go and register at the site.
