[Nottingham] [Talk] *This Thursday* - 8th June 2006 - Ubuntu 6.06 tryout at the Navigation

[Michael Erskine]

June 2006 marks the release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, also known as "Dapper Drake". 
("Ubuntu" means "Humanity to others", the "6.06" stands for "June 2006", and 
"LTS" stands for "long Term Support"). We will be trying the installer and 
looking at the features of what is quickly becoming the de-facto Linux 
distribution for regular desktop users and large-scale corporate deployments 
alike. 

I'll be giving a brief talk and installing on one or more rather low-end 
machines using a data projector as the screen. We'll be taking the installer 
on its own merits - we won't have net access so we'll see how well this 
distro functions in isolation and see what is included on the standard 
install CD.

Venue: -
 The Navigation Inn, 6 Wilford Street, Nottingham, NG2 1AA. Tel: 0115 9417139 
See: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?pc=NG21AA 

 About 2 mins walk from The Trip to Jerusalem just the other side of Castle 
Boulevard right near The Irish. Right on top of the canal lock. 

 Those bringing kit can park briefly outside to unload and then park nearby on 
Castle Boulevard or over at the Broadmarsh Centre or wherever. Everyone can 
help to carry kit up to the upstairs room. Those arriving by canal barge 
again can park on the canal again! ;-) 

 Doors open 19:30 for 20:00 start 

All are welcome. 

Regards,
Michael Erskine.
