[GNUz] [Linux-users] Workshop Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

N.B. June 6 GNUz workshop is postponed until 13 June, due to snow closing the facility today.

  
Hi Bryce,

Thanks for asking. Yes, the BIOSes have had the requisite modification to enable our liveCD-boots in future. Then we can make use of the nice new hardware resources at SLC.

See you soon.


Cheers, Rik
