Finally, A Linux Computer for Grandma!

And on Old Hardware, circa 2007!  I was surfacing Facebook the other day when I came across a Make Use Of feature that talked about MX Linux that was really great for moving from Windows in terms of look and feel and it runs on Old Harware, comes in both 32 bit and 64 bit flavors, just becareful of what you call old Hardware. My Old Hardware was an HP Media Center 64 bit with 2 Gigs of ram, sold back in 2007.

January 16th Meeting Notes

We started off the meeting with 8 present and late arrival took the count to 9.  We started off the meeting with just open conversation and first up was a conversation on cell phone battery life as one of our members had a new Pixel Phone. We also discussed some of the limitations of the new Android 9 operating system in connecting to PC and support for ext4 file systems that was missing.  He was going to try some other approaches to transferring files from ext4 linux formatted media.

Boise Linux Group July 18th Meeting report

We had 8 in attendance including our presenter for the evening.

I am going to take a difference approach to reporting the meetings, moving from my usual detailed report to a simple summary.  I am hoping this will drive attendance as I know some who just reply on my reports rather than attending the meeting.  Bottom line, if you want to know what is presented and discussed at the meeting, please join us.
