[GNUz] GNU/Linux support Weds 7.30pm

[Rik Tindall]

Hi all, monthly notice, June 6.

Tonight 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* operating system distributions 
are used to demonstrate alternative desktop environments, in the SLC 
computer lab of i5 PCs

Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we most display and Long 
Term Support releases like 18.04 are recommended, though rolling 
upgrades (to 18.10 next) run quicker with latest kernel drivers and 
software incorporated. Both are up-to-date, secure, and will run well on 
a lot of old equipment to extend its life. See http://debian.org 
background and http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ for these distros and 
http://distrowatch.com for a great many others to choose from. Portable 
devices welcome, esp. laptops.

BYO distributions and any new tech as you like; 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
