Thursday. I plan to be there at 5pm for our meeting to convene at<br>
about 5.30pm. I will bring a <a href="http://TOMU.IM" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">TOMU.IM</a> - "Tom's Open Microcomputer Usb"<br>
for anybody to examine and try out. It is a complete computer, ie,<br>
processor and memory plus I/O system for hardware programming<br>
practice. Sam was good enough to pass this along to me at our last<br>
NMGLUG meeting. I can activate it and do one trick, but there is more<br>
on GitHub. I can also bring the remains of my Peppermint 8 OS<br>
experiment. I am not using it anymore, so the disks (32 bit) and one<br>
small hdd are here for the asking.<br>
I am having good luck with Debian in either 32 or 64 bit installs. It<br>
runds well, has a familiar GUI available and all of my favorite<br>
applications and the ones I needed to investigate the <a href="http://TOMU.IM" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">TOMU.IM</a>. I may<br>
even switch over, though below I talk about the Xubuntu upgrade.<br>
Still, I like the Ubuntu family because I can give it to others and<br>
refer them to the copious information in clear and GUI format on the<br>
Internet.<br>
Oh yes, I am still using Xubuntu 16.04 at home, but will likely<br>
upgrade to 18.04 before the end of the year. I never rush ahead to<br>
upgrade a system till I am reasonably sure the upgrade tool is working<br>
well. Since the support overlaps for a full year, I like to see what<br>
others report about the process before taking it on. This also gives<br>
me time to weed out old files and do a complete backup of my personal<br>
files. My choice is to save files and accept that system and<br>
application settings and defaults will change.<br>
I may also have a laptop in need of assistance. The machine is taking<br>
care of the digital life of a friend and though the friend reports<br>
good health personally, there are some questions about the machine. I<br>
look forward to speaking to the machine itself to get its side of the<br>
story.<br>
I hope to see some of you there, at the New Baking Co., this Thursday.<br>
Thank you, Ted P.<br>
