Today, Friday 1:00PM to 3:30PM at Prairie Commons Library Branch. We expect a lot of Linux Workshop activity today. Age will not preclude attendance. We welcome non-seniors and only request respect and tolerance between young and old. One newcomer requested that I install LinuxMint 18.1 MATE 64bit on a older slow running HP-G61 PC laptop. That had been done after running SPINRITE to eliminate an unrecoverable hard disc sector. Today, my primary goal is a walk through talk showing various usability tweaks that have been done. One newcomer requested help with upgrading to version 18.1 of the LinuxMint 18 installed on a new laptop by Micro Center staff. There may be video card driver issues (or not). One newcomer requested help with installing Linux on a new laptop burdened with Microsoft Windows 10 and the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) barriers causing it to fail dual booting. Numerous partitions are involved using a GUID partition table (GPT) file system. A GPT drive may have up to 128 partitions, compared to the 4 partition limit of legacy BIOS and MBR systems. Not that familiar and possibly tricky. I don't know if all three of those folks will show up; but, some help from experienced and seasoned Linux users would be welcome to provide one-on-one assistance. Also, it may be helpful to set up multiple tables early on. -- -- -- stan r. -- http://hzwlug.sluug.org/ For the newcomer, anyone new to Linux. -- I know about TCP/IP; but, understand less of it each day. -- Save the earth.....
