This is the oldest, continuously running computer mtng in the St.L. area. # We hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other event or activity scheduled. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also frequently fixed. New software tools are often demonstrated. 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, troubleshoot, fix and repair difficult hardware and software configuration problems for Linux newcomers. # Bring your Linux PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it. # Just remember to bring your PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two diskettes. ======================================================================== Friday, December 2 ======================================================================= 1:00pm NCORCC North County Older Residents Computer Club 1pm – 3pm 915 Utz Lane, Hazelwood, MO VENUE: Prairie Commons Branch Library http://www.corcc-stl.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:00pm STL 2600 Meeting 5pm – 10pm 2400 South Jefferson Ave. St Louis, MO 63104 Venue: Arch Reactor The local chapter of the international hackers grp.
