<br>
Hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.<br>
<br>
I got out of the house a bit late but got to the Cafe Enchante in <br>
good time.<br>
John S. had preceded me but we were unable to get the use of the large <br>
table.<br>
3 students were using it though-out our meeting.<br>
<br>
The meeting took place around 2 small tables as I showed off my <br>
latest<br>
batch of Flash Drives which seemed to surprise John S. who had brought <br>
in his<br>
late model 4K laptop.<br>
<br>
I got my Dell E6520 setup and booted into Mageia 7.1 and did some <br>
updates<br>
then started a game of Angband(an addictive dungeon crawl) which I started<br>
playing on an Amiga with a 68000 cpu. Sadly it has been so long since I <br>
played<br>
that I had forgotten the save command. Then I shut it down<br>
<br>
Well then Ken and his wife showed up.<br>
<br>
Jim Stockford and Aaron C, showed up next.<br>
<br>
Jim is interested in Python and teaching a new student so the Python<br>
classroom on Fedora 31 running Gnome was the next thing I booted up.<br>
<br>
John S. had no problem booting up the MX-19, AntiX 19, or anything <br>
else<br>
but had no interest in running them because they are not responding to the<br>
4K screen with properly sized fonts or icons. Adjusting them <br>
practically takes<br>
a magnifying glass except with Gnome 3.3 on Ubuntu where a program<br>
called Gnome Tweaks is available to help the user.<br>
<br>
Maestro came by momentarily but decided that there was not enough<br>
room and took care of other business in the neighborhood.<br>
<br>
Jim had brought in the Intel Stick computer that originated with <br>
Ken who<br>
first gave it to me then I passed it on to Jim when he evinced interest in<br>
a web page server. Ken had brought in a very small hdmi monitor which<br>
was attached to the computer along with a keyboard and mouse then<br>
Ken demonstrated the proper setup of the stick computer.<br>
<br>
Fedora Python Classroom 31 and my meager demonstration of it<br>
convinced Jim that he wanted it to use with his new programming student.<br>
<br>
Robert J. who had gotten me to download TAILS for him came in<br>
and before I was done I had demoed, in addiction to TAILS, Fedora 31 <br>
Live KDE,<br>
AntiX-19 and even pclinuxos64 KDE. Robert bought rather than checked them<br>
out.<br>
He last came to a meeting about 3 years ago and I only vaguely<br>
remembered him. He had gotten sidetracked from pursuing Linux he said.<br>
He, I think, is still in the exploratory stage of Linux use trying to <br>
find a<br>
distribution or more than one that suits his usage<br>
<br>
Aaron C. with an older computer from a family member was occupied<br>
using Roxie on AntiX-19 to setup icons on the desktop to suit a user who is<br>
not happy with menus.<br>
<br>
Finally one James Howard showed up, an old compatriot of Jim <br>
Stockford and<br>
of Aaron C. This happy reunion occupied about an an extra hour of time but<br>
eventually Jim Stockford gave myself and Aaron C. rides onward.<br>
<br>
Anyone attending the meeting is free to correct my omissions or<br>
incomprehension of the activities and asked to do so asap so that the<br>
membership not in attendance will not be mis-informed any longer<br>
than necessary.<br>
<br>
So this was a fairly good meeting aside from the small table space<br>
available.<br>
<br>
The next meeting will be on Sunday December 1. My regular notice <br>
may be<br>
expected around November 25.<br>
Have a happy Thanksgiving and a calm Black Friday.<br>
<br>
Bobbie Sellers<br>
