[members at lugog] Hi

[Clouds]

Hi All,

Have to admit, as a newbie - hangs head - that I've temporarily gone back to the madmen of Richmond. I tried to get a distro that suited me but either Ubuntu or CentOS or whatever baulked at my hardware or I just couldn't get stuff to install. Linux needs to be made more user-friendly for those of us long in the tooth and none too keen on struggling with repositories. Ubuntu was allegedly the answer, hmm.. i didn't find it so and I'm building my sixth machine (don't haved them all of course) so I know what the inside of the box looks like :-)  It's always the bloody software that's the problem.

I shall return, as the idiot said.

        cool!
        I forgot to mention in my long post yesterday that Ubuntu vs Arch.
        Ubuntu is like buying a car (An Audi perhaps?), Arch is like building one from a selection of parts.

        BTW I have previously used vector linux for a very old laptop with some success for someone who then sold it to buy booze and fags (c'est la vie).

        Which distro(s) do other lugogers use?

          So as not to lose this fragile spark of activity, I've assumed Phil's suggestion of the pub in Ashcott and created a doodle page so that we can pick a date and have a meetup. Which could be the first of, er, one. Or indeed many.

          Vote here:

          Or suggest another venue or date if the mood so takes.

          Ian
