[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, November 1.

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/ - held on the 
first Wednesday monthly, Feb-Dec.

LiveDVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* distributions are used to 
demonstrate alternative desktop environments in the SLC computer lab of 
i5 all-in-one PC screens. Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we 
most display and Long Term Support releases like 16.04 are recommended; 
the 17.04 upgrade to 17.10 had a stalling glitch which is now corrected 
and both run very well. See http://debian.org background and 
http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros and 
http://distrowatch.com for many others to choose from. Portable devices 
welcome, e.g. laptops, Raspberry Pi and CHIP :P

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

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

Kind regards,

Rik Tindall
