The Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest enduring, continuously
meeting personal
computer organization active in Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
We often hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up,
or when there is no
other event or activity scheduled.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides many fully
functional applications that
perform well on both older and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low
cost and provides an
extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high priced proprietary software.
The workshop is where we usually examine, fix, repair, and troubleshoot, difficult
hardware and software
configuration problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also
frequently fixed. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use
it.
Bring your laptop or desktop PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux
installation, network
connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. Just remember to bring your laptop and
power strip or your
desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two discs or a
flash thumb drive.
For newcomers, we can evaluate your hardware and current Operating System setup. If we
determine there is
sufficient time, we can perform a complete functioning Linux installation.
