Hi all, monthly notice, November 1.
Tomorrow night is the GNU/Linux Users' workshop: 7.30pm-9.30pm in the
South Learning Centre (SLC), through rear door of South Christchurch
Library at 66 Colombo Street, Cashmere -
https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/locations/SOUTH/ - held on the
first Wednesday monthly, Feb-Dec.
LiveDVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* distributions are used to
demonstrate alternative desktop environments in the SLC computer lab of
i5 all-in-one PC screens. Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we
most display and Long Term Support releases like 16.04 are recommended;
the 17.04 upgrade to 17.10 had a stalling glitch which is now corrected
and both run very well. See http://debian.org background and
http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros and
http://distrowatch.com for many others to choose from. Portable devices
welcome, e.g. laptops, Raspberry Pi and CHIP :P
BYO distributions and new tech; overhead projector - let us know if you
have a presentation to offer.
Thank you for the support of this workshop and the Software Freedom Day
annual installfest event.
Kind regards,
Rik Tindall
