The North Idaho Linux Users Group’s next meeting is on July 11 at 1pm at the River of Life Friends Church in Post Falls. If you are tired of spending money trying to protect or clean up your computer from all the nastiness in the world, or are just interested in the Linux operating system, feel free to come to the meeting. We have members who can answer your questions, supply you with a free disk with Linux or help you install the operating system on your computer. We have room to set up computers, so keep that in mind.

The meeting is free to all and the regular members willingly answer questions for novices. This is a great time to bring that Christmas computer to the meeting and let us help you install Linux on it, an operating system with none of the instabilities, insecurities or disappointments of the operating system the computer probably came with.
