[sf-lug] SF-LUG meets Sunday November 3, 2019

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi LUGers,

   SF-LUG meets 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.

     Do we have any teachers in the membership who might like
to use Linux to enable tracking of student performance?  This
can include Home Schoolers.  Distrowatch has PrimTux 5 in
Lubuntu base for Scholars and Debian base for Teachers.
I will download these if requested. But got to
  <www.distrowatch.com> and see if they fit your
needs.

     As mentioned in my notes of 10/6/2019 I will have the Linux Pro 
magazine
of October 2019 issue #227 at the meeting.

     community.

     TAILS 4.0 is out!
     A member requested that I get a copy of TAILS
for him and I did, so wo will have it at the LUG meeting
to put on his media.  I torrented it according to the
instructions at the following URL.
<https://tails.boum.org/install/download/index.en.html>

     UbPorts announced on Distrowatch 2019-10-23!
     OTA-11! OTA-11 is immediately available for all supported Ubuntu
Touch devices. You can see the supported devices at this URL,
<https://ubports.com/devices/promoted-devices> which include
smart phones and a 10" tablet.
     You can read more about the release and install to your compatible
device at:
<https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-11-release-252>
     If you have forgotten UbPorts took over the Unity interface
which had been designed for phones originally but ported to
use on computers where I at least did not enjoy the experience.
On a phone or a tablet this is far better than Android and Google
or iPhone and Apple as far as security goes.

         Well I hope what I have outlined is enough to get you to the 
meeting
but if you want a copy on disk of any of the above distributions let
me know ASAP.
