Hi folks, This Thursday, May 4th @Sydenham Community Association Hall, 25 Hutcheson Street, Christchurch, starting 7.30pm, is an Ubuntu/FreeBSD explore, with a wireless focus. The format is to answer any questions people have for using Ubuntu, explain its maintenance, use dialup to go online, and share that connection wirelessly. I.E. the wireless network setup tools will be reviewed. We'll link up any wireless-enabled systems people bring along thus (Don? Chris? ...?) After our break we will compare FreeBSD 6.0 for the same function, and hear from Dale DuRose why we should want to. Reading handouts will be supplied. Repair & install help commences with the tea break. All welcome, donations cover costs ($2 minimum please). Update - Green Room: The Wednesd
ays, 10-2pm "Free Linux Tuition" at 16 Bedford Row Chch, is
advertised through the Green Diary e-mailout each week, to all Green Party members. Interest is strong, with the small space open four, and full two week's running now. Because of the limited space and volunteer assistance involved so far, this workshop has to be clearly delimited in its aims: Lesson 1 (for me): _everyone_ showing up for help so far has read "I'll teach you about Linux for free" as "I'll fix your Linux box for free". That's fine, because we're all learning from it ;-) Lesson 2: we have to stick to what's on offer - GNOME on Ubuntu. In other words, due to the limits of volunteer expertise and room to put more (so far..), the KDE user equipment that arrives will get bounced back to the LUG. Sorry, but that's as much as we can do without expansion of this program (which amounts to getting politically active on behalf of our favourite operating system: "Linux? - You're worth it").
