[sf-lug] News on some less "mainstream" distros

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LUGers.

  Actually at the meeting I was able to boot to Manjaro using the UEFI 
boot option

and got some configuration done as well as testing. The version of 
LibreOffice

supplied is a bit older, the package manager is Octupi and it has a 
cache flush for

cleaning out the installed rpms. It also has standard KDE games 
installable and my favorit

editors Kwrite and Kate installable.

More about the meeting tomorrow if things go well for me.
