[sf-lug] SF-LUG meets Monday, 17 December 2018

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LuGers,

     The last meeting of 2018!

   SF-LUG meets every third Monday from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M.
and  every first Sunday from 11 A.M. to 1 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 7 members.   If you have a problem come along
and maybe we can help but if not we can usually find someone
who can.

   Added to the distributions library:

     4MServer-27.0-64bit.iso

     4MLinux-27.0-32bit.iso

     Both used to fit in a CD Now a DVD is required for each.

CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1810.iso and some other
variations have been released.
CentOS is using KDE Plasma 4.14.8,
Linux kernel 2.1.0-957 ,
LibreOffice version 5 is supplied but not
LibreOffice Manager.
Updates supplied by yum, a tool run in terminal
It does use a late version of Dolphin for a file manager.
Firefox is supplied which is how I found out about yum.
     CentOS is an Enterprise Distribution Linux compiled
from the RedHat source code.  If the users are not savvy
they will need an IT to manage the system.
    One shortcoming is that the disk did not display the
UEFI alternative on boot.  I checked the disk and under /boot
we do have an /EFI   The best use is in business where
people are concerned about staying away from the cutting
edge.
