<br>
Wednesday 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 <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=66+Colombo+Street&entry=gmail&source=g">66 Colombo Street</a>, Cashmere - <a href="https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/locations/SOUTH/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://my.christchurchcitylib<wbr>raries.com/locations/SOUTH/</a> - held on the first Wednesday monthly, Feb-Dec.<br>
<br>
LiveDVD/thumbdrive installs of freenix* operating system distributions are used to demonstrate alternative desktop environments, in the SLC computer lab of i5 all-in-one screen-PCs<br>
<br>
Ubuntu-MATE is the Debian GNU/Linux variant we most display and Long Term Support releases like 16.04 are recommended; rolling upgrades to 17.10 seem to run better though, with latest kernel drivers and software incorporated - if start-up speed concerns you. It's up-to-date, secure, and will run well on a lot of old equipment to extend its life. See <a href="http://debian.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://debian.org</a> background and <a href="http://ubuntu-mate.org/download/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ubuntu-mate.org/downloa<wbr>d/</a> for these distros and <a href="http://distrowatch.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://distrowatch.com</a> for a great many others to choose from. Portable devices welcome, e.g. laptops, Raspberry Pi and CHIP.<br>
<br>
BYO distributions and new tech if you like; overhead projector - let us know if you have a presentation to offer.<br>
<br>
Thank you for the support of this workshop and the Software Freedom Day annual installfest event.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
