[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, May 3.

Tonight is the GNU/Linux Users' workshop: 7.30pm-9.30pm in the South 
Learning Centre, through rear door of South Christchurch Library at 66 
Colombo Street, Cashmere: http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/

LiveDVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* distributions are used to 
demonstrate alternative desktop environments in the SLC computer lab of 
fast i5 Skylakes. Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant most 
usually displayed, and Long Term Support releases like 16.04. 17.04 
looks very good, for review tonight. See http://debian.org background 
and http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros. See 
http://distrowatch.com for more.

BYO distributions and technologies welcome; overhead projector - let us 
know if have a presentation to offer.

Thank you for the support of this workshop.

Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
