[clue-announce] CLUE DTC Meeting - 7/11

[Jeff Cann]

Date:  7/11/06
Time:  7:00 pm

*Main Topic: 7:00 PM* Building a Laptop Computer with Dennis Perkins

A few manufacturers are now offering barebone laptops. Decide what kind 
of laptop you want, select a CPU, hard drive, memory, and wireless card. 
Assemble it and install Linux. There are tradeoffs and pitfalls to 
consider... speed and power consumption versus battery life, heat 
dissipation, etc.

Dennis is a PLC engineer for an environmental monitoring company. He's 
been using Linux since 1995 and doing Linux From Scratch for 4 years. 
Dennis has been building his own computers since 1987, but this is the 
first time he's built a laptop.


NOTE:  No KISS session this month.
