[clue] Installfest Status?

[tshiatt]

Hi, Paul.

I have recently installed Ubuntu on an old Dell Dimension, and have been 
starting to use it for a few tasks connected to my business. I'm 
surprised (and impressed) that it recognized and manages the small USB 
Wi-Fi adapter I had handy.

Last night I set up Slackware on an IBM Thinkpad. I'm planning on 
researching and documenting each step of the way with this. I worked at 
an ISP in the 90's, and had a bit of exposure to Linux then. Now I'm 
becoming more interested as Win XP machines will soon have few options 
to remain viable. My thoughts are to steer some of my clients to Linux, 
if it meets their needs and abilities.

My motivation is to prepare for an online course I'll be engaged with 
towards the end of summer that's being offered at no charge. (The 
details are here:

.)

The CLUE group messages I've read reflect a warm, inviting community. 
I'm looking forward to meeting the members and learning about Linux.


Regards,

Truman

I could maybe help you with that, if you are not too far away. However, a new one is coming out in three weeks. Usually, I install the new ones about 30 days after release, but the reviews on the Beta are that this 14.04 is already extremely stable.
