NMGLugers, We are scheduled for a meeting on the 2nd of August - this Thursday. I plan to be there at 5pm for our meeting to convene at about 5.30pm. I will bring a TOMU.IM - "Tom's Open Microcomputer Usb" for anybody to examine and try out. It is a complete computer, ie, processor and memory plus I/O system for hardware programming practice. Sam was good enough to pass this along to me at our last NMGLUG meeting. I can activate it and do one trick, but there is more on GitHub. I can also bring the remains of my Peppermint 8 OS experiment. I am not using it anymore, so the disks (32 bit) and one small hdd are here for the asking. I am having good luck with Debian in either 32 or 64 bit installs. It runds well, has a familiar GUI available and all of my favorite applications and the ones I needed to investigate the TOMU.IM. I may even switch over, though below I talk about the Xubuntu upgrade. Still, I like the Ubuntu family because I can give it to others and refer them to the copious information in clear and GUI format on the Internet. Oh yes, I am still using Xubuntu 16.04 at home, but will likely upgrade to 18.04 before the end of the year. I never rush ahead to upgrade a system till I am reasonably sure the upgrade tool is working well. Since the support overlaps for a full year, I like to see what others report about the process before taking it on. This also gives me time to weed out old files and do a complete backup of my personal files. My choice is to save files and accept that system and application settings and defaults will change. I may also have a laptop in need of assistance. The machine is taking care of the digital life of a friend and though the friend reports good health personally, there are some questions about the machine. I look forward to speaking to the machine itself to get its side of the story. I hope to see some of you there, at the New Baking Co., this Thursday. Thank you, Ted P.
going out of town that day but, otherwise, would have attended good to hear Sam is still on the planet On Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 6:54 PM, Ted Pomeroy <ted.pome@gmail.com> wrote:
