[brlug-newbies] Linux Desktop SIG Workshop, Monday, August 4th.

[EdsLinuxBox]

Greetings all, 

In the upcoming workshop we will introduce everyone to the latest version of 
Ubuntu, which is now installed on most of the computers in the Linux Lab. In 
the previous workshop we were in the process of developing a path forward for 
the SIG when we lost power, but one of the decisions that was made was to 
replace the Xandros installations with the latest version of Ubuntu since it 
has become the defacto distribution for most manufacturers that are selling 
computers with Linux pre-installed. Hopefully some of the SIG members that 
are more familiar with Ubuntu will be available to help familiarize everyone 
with it. 

In the second portion of the SIG, we will try and get through the rest of the 
slide show that we started last time. There are still a lot of things that 
need to be done and plenty of opportunities for everyone to participate. 

Don't forget that Thursday, August 7th is the monthly meeting at the club 
office and that we have an Open House on Saturday, August 9th from 10 AM to 3 
PM. I think volunteers are still needed. Contact Cal if you want to help. 

See everyone Monday evening, 

Ed
