Hi Peter (and Debian Laptop :-),

I have been working on a system for automatically detecting locations
and re-configuring my laptop appropriately for some time.

I am nearly at a point of making a 0.0.1 release of a debian package for
this.

This system works for me in switching me between a number of
environments, as follows:
	- figure out where you are by querying network and hardware things.
	- build and execute scripts appropriate to your location.

If anyone is interested in helping me beta-test this they are welcome.

If anyone wants to help, what I can really do with at this stage is the
'helper' scripts to make it easy to do the sort of things that people
want their laptops to do when they go to a different location.


Cheers,
					Andrew.
