[clue] Installfest Status?

[M Paul Webb]

Truman,

Yep, trying Ubuntu with a bunch of different wireless adapters is fun. 

Ubuntu works very nice on a Thinkpad, which is my favorite computer.

I'm sure Linux can be most beneficial to your business clients.

Good luck to you!

Paul

     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:
       http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/2400-introduction-to-linux-course-will-be-free-and-online-this-summer/
       .)
 
       
 
       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,

       Hi Truman,
 
 It seems like the group just does not do install feasts
 anymore. What do you want to install?? About the only thing
 I spend time with anymore is Ubuntu. 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.

      Hi.
  
        
  
        I'm new to the group. I noticed the home page has
  a link to the
        '2012 Calendar', and the next Installfest is
  scheduled for 03MAR12.
        Have I arrived too late?
  
        
  
        
  
        Regards,
  
        
  
        Truman
