[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, October 4.

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/

LiveDVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* distributions are used to 
demonstrate alternative desktop environments in the SLC computer lab of 
good i5 machines. Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we most 
display and Long Term Support releases like 16.04 are recommended, 
although 17.04 runs very well and will upgrade to 17.10 in two weeks' 
time. See http://debian.org background and 
http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros and 
http://distrowatch.com for a great many more to choose from.

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

This week we organise the Software Freedom Day event, to be run at the 
lab on Saturday week.

Thank you for the support of this workshop and the Software Freedom Day 
annual installfest event.

Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
