I have been away for a while because I started teaching at Conestoga College and depending on what school you are in it takes over your life. Anyway, the beginner sessions sound like a great idea! I know I could still benefit as I do not work with Linux but have been using it for some time. <div>I would be happy to give a short talk on how to install Linux on a laptop. </div><div>I did give 2 talks in the past, one on Knoppix and the other on converting an OEM installation of Windows 7 into a virtual machine using disk2vhd and running it under Ubuntu. </div><div>Just a thought. <br><div>Anyway, hope to see everyone at the February meeting. </div><div>Jim Kelsh<br><div><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jan 17, 2018, at 4:14 PM, Chamunks <<a href="mailto:chamunks@gmail.com">chamunks@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">What if, in order to help improve on attendance we do a beginners portion and a deep dive portion of the KWLUG rather then just exclusively the 2 hour format where its all heavy from start to finish we try to have a beginner section from 7 where we cover some light stuff and then go into a deep dive in the second half.
