Install the relevant OS, get it working with the projector, install the needed software to work with Powerpoint or any other tools peeps might want to work with, etc. When someone wants to do a presentation that involves thoe things, you just have a little box you know works with the projector and certain tools.

I have had for a year or so a Samsung 64-bit X102B Notebook, which came with Windoze 8 and UEFI. It is a very nice machine, light, good battery life etc, but Windoze 8 is so crap. Every so often a Windoze update starts Service Host or some other similar bit of software to mop up CPU usage, and I have, by trial and error, find out which update caused this, and uninstall it. A previous notebook I had with lower spec just raced along with either Windoze 7 or Ubuntu etc, but I have not succeeded in getting this new one multibooted. It seems that the latest Ubuntu 14.10 distributed with Linux Format cuts most UEFI systems and installs a sensible bootloader. I would then be away. Please will someone give me some dead easy instructions to create a USB stick with the appropriate Ubuntu installation files from the Linux Format DVD. I can do this on my Ubuntu Desk top. I don't find trawling the web for ideas very helpful. At least if I knew I had a reliable installation USB stick, I could start hacking the UEFI with some confidence. Any help most gratefully received - Roger. P.S. I must come along sometime. ----- No virus found in this message.

It included the fact that a lot of drone strikes didn't originate in the middle east, but out of Ramstein air force base in Germany. Very hot potato that one I guess. Secondly on another sheet, it revealed the sheer scale of how many people were on the NSA watchlist, around 1.2M people had ALL their comms scooped, all the time. I think there were more, but I didnt' see them all.

Ben will be doing a talk on GIT, the version control that is very useful for everyone not just coders. I'm afraid it doesn't look like I'll be joining you tonight as I'll be travelling back from a job. Have a great evening. Les -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hopefully it made it seem more tangible to use and the benefits, and not just confusing you further with jargon... The presentation from last night and some others are up on our GitHub org page: https://github.com/ChesterLUG in the Code-Demos repo. I thought it would be good to make them available for people to look back on, and visitors can see what sort of things we demo. More than happy to add Github users to the organisation so you can fork to add your own!

Thanks for putting it together. A good version control system has to be the foundation of any collaborative development effort, whatever you're working on. So it can't hurt to go over it again, can it? I don't recall any pain anyway, which is always a good sign. Cheers Ben!
