<font size="-1">Hi, Paul.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
My motivation is to prepare for an online course I'll be engaged
with towards the end of summer </font><font size="-1"><font

are here:

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

<pre wrap="">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.
Paul

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
