Loading Linux Mint

Brad Youngman, President, SPAUG

Brad will install Linux Mint 13 (long term release) onto a Windows 8.1 Acer V5 laptop using Virtual Box.

To avoid the slow installation by way of a CD/DVD drive and possible WiFi difficulties with an older machine, Brad has chosen to demonstrate the installation on new laptop. The steps of the installation are identical to those for an older machine. Discussion during the installation is encouraged

All members and guests are invited to attend a NO-host dinner prior to our general meeting. Dinner will be at 5:45 PM at The Bistro located on the ground floor of the Elks Lodge.

The Road to Windows 8.1

Jim Hurley

Evolution of the Windows OS from XP to 8.1. How we got from there to here.
Major features of Windows 8 will be covered. Some hints about what may be in Windows 9.

Jim Hurley spent most of his career in telecommunications writing kernel drivers for hardware. Mostly, software was written in C and assembly for Unix-like kernels. One major project was to port the Berkeley Sockets library to a real-time OS, so he knows TCP and IP protocols pretty well.
Jim has been designing digital music instruments as a hobby. He volunteers as a Beta tester for several well-known music companies, and makes free sound libraries for software instruments.
Jim built most of his PCs and has made some for others. He’s been using Windows 8 since itvcame out.

All members and guests are invited to attend a NO-host dinner prior to our general meeting. Dinner will be at 5:45 PM at The Bistro located on the ground floor of the Elks Lodge.
