Might get there early to get some food and sunshine, before someone intelligent works out why my new RPi SD card won't boot.J

Folks,

*Tomorrow* 7:30pm Thursday 16/05/2019:

*Trip To bits ‘n’ bobs*


This month we move downhill from The OverDraught to revisit an *Olde*
favourite haunt in the haunted snug of *Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem*



See you all there for:

Likely a demo of just how quickly a Linux distro can be installed
onto an ex-TNMoC old retro-computer of some unknown innards...

Enthusings of a TNMoC adventurous debrief;

Further enthusings for the latest announcement for an EPYC
supercomputer[*] that is to outpace the combined force of the present
top 160 of the world supercomputers;

With further comparisons for how the latest design compares with the
Cray designs of old (as can be seen at TNMoC 😉 🙂 );

With the added side note that Linux runs ALL of the world top 500
supercomputers...

And lots else Linux and new developments!


(Anyone got a Brambleweeny or a more modest Bramble to bring?! :-P )



All welcome, technical and non-technical alike, for everything about
Linux, Supercomputers, Linux distros, and upgrades!

We will no doubt be discussing everything else in general also.



All at:

7:30pm Thursday 16/05/2019
