18:00 -- 21:00 NEWLUG ~ Newcomer Linux Users Group https://newlug.sluug.org/ A Linux Users Group for the newcomer. ** *Holiday schedule - third Tuesday in December* ** St. Louis County Library ~ Prairie Commons Branch 915 Utz Lane, Hazelwood MO 63042-2739 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% One on one help for anyone curious about or new to Linux. All meetings are free and open to the public. TOPICS? Whatever the newest user needs to know. The newest user in the room may select the topic. We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences, problem solving and effective techniques. We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI), as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We do NOT intend to focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and generally optional for day to day use with modern Linux. We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb. A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These topics are tentative. They are only suggestions. Order of Events: First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements, and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period. Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation, after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to additional topics. Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution (distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications. Users that bring their laptops (or even desktops) often connect to the Internet for application installation and bookmarking of interesting web sites. Early arrival may provide enough time to assist installation, configuration and demonstration of Linux on hardware. The library will NOT provide us with monitors, keyboards, power strips or computer mice. Come early, come often! -- -- -- -- stan r. -- https://newlug.sluug.org/ For the newcomer, anyone new to Linux. -- I know about TCP/IP; but, understand less of it each day. -- Save the earth.....
