[HLUG] Next Meeting 7.30pm 27 January Courtyard Hereford

[Ann]

Re: Manjaro, it has been my distro of choice for over a year now - using 
xfce desktop. I can't make the January meeting unfortunately, but I do 
intend to come to one in the near future. Manjaro is just beautiful, 
have a look at Spatry's youtube review - and you have access to the Arch 
- AUR - repository. Everything just works, I have also swapped over to 
using Pale Moon as my browser and DuckDuckGo as my search engine.
