[sf-lug] SF-LUG meets Monday July 17, 2017

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LUGers,

     Just a note Fedora 26 is out and I got the KDE version.
     If anyone wants the Workstation or other versions let me know asap.

     Linux Pro #200 is out.  The disk of the month is an archive
of Linux Voice.  Some interesting older news on various topics
and some article of interest.

         bliss "running light (as well as fast)" on PCLinuxOS64-2016.03
GNU/Linux 4.11.10-pclos1 #1 SMP Thu Jul 13
