[sf-lug] SF Lug meeting Monday, July 21, 2014

[Bobbie Sellers]

     SF-LUG meets every first Sunday from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. and
every third Monday from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. at the Cafe Enchante,
26th and Geary Boulevard.

     These meetings are usually lightly attended with a high for the
year so far of 6 members.   If you have a problem come along
and maybe we can help but if not we can usually find someone
who can.

     Today 11 July I got the Linux Pro magazine #164 for July 2014
     It has some interesting articles on Running Linux apps on Windows,
UEFI even with a Secure Boot environment, Practical Tips for moving
to an SSD,  and the story on Bitwig Studio, a musical tool in the Audio
  workstation besides a lot more.
     You can find out more at www.LinuxProMagazine.com. But I intend to
bring it to the next couple of meetings for those of us who as I do myself,
like to have the paper in my hand.
     The DVD for this month is double-sided with 64 bit versions on one side
and 32 bit versions on the other side, entitled "Ubuntu Monster Pack
it has 5 popular 'buntus, Ubuntu of course with the Unity Desktop, Ubuntu
Gnome with Gnome version 3.10, Kubuntu with KDE 4.13, Lubuntu with
Lxde and Xubuntu with the Xfce; all of which are based on the 14.04 release
Trusty Tahr.
     And of course I will be bringing along my new Notebook and I found a
transparent theme so that the tool bar icons seem to be floating. That
might be worth a sighting before I boot a few of the Monster Pack distros.

        Meeting times are strictly nominal which means that I try
to show up on time or actually ahead of time, in case I have
to trouble shoot my set-up.  We leave if no other  interested
parties show up up by 7:30 Monday nights or 12:30  PM on
  Sundays.  On the other hand if you bring an interesting problem
or discussion we may hang out until long after the nominal time
to end the meeting.

     Thanks for your attention
