November 2008 NILUG Meeting

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

The November meeting of the North Idaho Linux Users Group will be held on Saturday, 8 November at the River of Life Friends Church in Post Falls. The meeting will start at 1 pm. The meeting is free to all and the regular members willingly answer questions for novices. Regular members will also help you install Linux – as a dual boot if necessary – if you bring your computer (monitor, keyboard and mouse, too) to the meeting.

This meeting we will be discussing the differences between the Gnome and KDE desktops, and why so many people display an almost religious fervor towards one or the other of these programs. We will also have an introduction to Grub – what it is, what it can do and how you can modify it to do your bidding. We will also have a demo of how to spice up your Ubuntu 8.10 install.
