NILUG Meetings for January 2013
The general and technical sessions of the North Idaho Linux Users Group will be held on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays in January. The General Session will be held on 12 January at the usual place and usual time. At that meeting, we will present the next installment of our Learning Linux series: More of the Gimp. Since we were unable to install file server software on a computer at our last general session, we will also attempt to do that.
If you have questions about graphic programs, file servers or Linux in general, you are welcome to attend the general meeting. Anyone may attend with no strings attached.
The Technical Session for January will be held on 26 January at the usual place and usual time. At the last technical session, we installed Linux Mint on a laptop that had a very old version of Ubuntu on it. The only hiccup in that process was WiFi, which we got running. We also showed off a Raspberry Pi board running RaspBMC. It’s kind of hard to believe that much capability in a credit card-sized circuit board.
