Hi LUGers,<br>
<br>
SF-LUG meets every first Sunday from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. <br>
and every third Monday from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. <br>
at the Cafe Enchante, 26th and Geary Boulevard. <br>
<br>
These meetings are usually lightly attended with a high for the
<br>
year so far of 7 members. If you have a problem come along <br>
and maybe we can help but if not we can usually find someone <br>
who can. <br>
<br>
<br>
Distributions added to the library. <br>
<br>
SUSE and Red Hat have later Enterprise releases available<br>
as reported at Distrowatch. <<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.distrowatch.com">www.distrowatch.com</a>><br>
<br>
Distributions listed below have been check-summed and <br>
probably written to disk or to Flash Drive.<br>
<br>
Kodachi 6.1 (kodachi-6.1-64.iso)<br>
<br>
Mageia 7 finally released!<br>
Will have Live and Install versions for x86_64 and i586<br>
Versions for ARM are available and if anyone want to try <br>
those let me know.<br>
Mageia-7-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso<br>
Mageia-7-Live-Xfce-x86_64.iso <br>
and two install only versions.<br>
Mageia-7-x86_64.iso <br>
Mageia-7-i586.iso<br>
The live versions are <3 GB and the Install only versions<br>
are > 4 GB. In case you are unfamiliar the Install only<br>
versions, like the Mandriva this is descended from, are<br>
larger due to inclusion of 4 Desktop Environments<br>
KDE's Plasma 5, XFCE, Gnome, and Cinnamon.<br>
<br>
I may do an installation of Mageia 7 on the test machine as <br>
Zorin seems a waste of time for me but it would make a great<br>
distribution for a Windows user trying to get out from under<br>
Microsoft's thumb. Since that installation I have had boot<br>
problems with PCLinuxOS64.<br>
<br>
Microsoft's thumb is dumb by the way and the latest dumb<br>
thing we have learned about is this discontinuance without <br>
notice to the 800 million unfortunate users of the Registry<br>
backup. Full details at:<br>
<<b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2019/06/29/microsoft-windows-10-upgrade-registry-warning-upgrade-windows/#2ce2431671ef">https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2019/06/29/microsoft-windows-10-upgrade-registry-warning-upgrade-windows/#2ce2431671ef</a></b>><br>
The tool for the backup seems to be working but creates files <br>
of 0 bytes length. This was deliberate on MS's part and so was <br>
the failure of the company to inform users and the alleged intent <br>
was to save 100 MB of space with each backup.<br>
<br>
Well I hope a few of us show up at the Meeting on the 7th of
July<br>
at the Cafe Enchante.<br>
