Re: [debian.nl] Visiting Amsterdam, keysigning?
Lars:

I think that 15-20 minutes is measured by car, but it's optimistic
considering possible traffic jams, and you'd have to have a car,
and you'd have to park it somewhere in Amsterdam which is not easy
either. And you can't drink :-).
Public transport is fairly good here usually, at least compared
to abroad (of course nobody every thinks public transport is good
enough). Timetables give a trainride of 23 minutes from Almere Muziekwijk
to Amsterdam Central, but then you still have to get to the station
in Almere, though a taxi or slightly cheaper "train taxi" would be
comfortable and simple.
Go here for the official railroad site:
