[sf-lug] report on the SF-LUG meeting of July 3, 2016

[maestro]

we installed linux kernel 4.6 via gui and so far it's running fine [when i
boot into it].

we were curious if the additional codecs i installed with the LTS kernel
would need to be
'addressed' for the 4.6 kernel and 'so far' the answer is no [though more
file types need to be tested].

network doesn't seem to need any 'adjusting' ["Ssshhh, let's let it flow."]

boot speed is slower.


message ends.
