[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, June 7.

Tomorrow night 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 Skylake machines. Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant 
most usually displayed, and Long Term Support releases like 16.04 
recommended. 17.04 has some good speed improvements, except on closing; 
excellent. See http://debian.org background and 
http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros. See 
http://distrowatch.com for a great many more.

BYO distributions and new 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
