[nmglug] Meeting this week;

[Brian O'Keefe]

I got clearance from my MD to drive, carefully. If I don't feel it's a 
good idea I'll email you Satsangat. thanks and I'll keep you posted. Oh, 
I pulled the HDD from my last laptop and it had some of my missing data 
but very outdated so some is gone forever. The mysterious Miscellany 
folder was in there and some of my music. New install is working just 
peachy. Using MATE WM for Ubuntu. Much like the classic gnome but more 
easily configured for applets I want, like sound, screen brightness, 
etc. Now to set up a back up routine. I like GUI versions so I'll see 
what's in the most recent repositories.
