Hi all, monthly notice, June 5.
Wednesday 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.
LiveCD/DVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* operating system
distributions are used to demonstrate alternative desktop environments,
in the SLC computer lab of i5, all-in-one, touchscreen PCs.
Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we most display and Long
Term Support releases like 18.04 are recommended, though rolling
upgrades (19.04 is latest, April release) tend to run fastest with very
latest kernel drivers and software incorporated. Both are up-to-date,
secure, and will run well on a lot of aged equipment to extend its life.
See http://debian.org background and http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/
for these distros and http://distrowatch.com for a great many other
variants to choose from. Portable devices welcome, esp. laptops, Android
phones etc.
BYO distributions and any new tech you like; overhead projector - let
us know if you have a presentation to offer.
Thank you for the support of these workshops and the Software Freedom
Day annual installfest event.
Kind regards,
Rik Tindall
