sorry there hasn't been many meetings as of late. I've been occupied with surgery and other interests but still would like to have a meeting once in awhile. You don't need to me to have a meeting or to make one happen.

On a more related note, I've recently switched to Arch Linux with XFCE and GNOME. Has anyone ever notice that some programs load faster in GNOME than in XFCE?

Many Blessings,

I was surprised when I checked in and saw the new website. I think you guys did a really good job with it's creation. The layout looks good. Hoping for the best for the new year at the Kenosha Linux Users Group.

For those in the Racine area that are using Facebook you might want to consider joining the facebook group "Racine WI's Very Own Computer Boneyard". It is a gathering place for those interested in buying, selling, trading, or giving old computers or computer parts.

I have installed Linux Mint 8 and as usual it was an easy install and is running great. When I first installed, the computer video was very choppy and I thought for sure there was a bug in the OS. As it turned out my computer was dirty and running hot. Just goes to show you that you shouldn't be to quick to blame the Linux distro.

I have referred a couple people to open accounts at KLUG and they have tried but tell me they have to enter the captca code but none show up in the box. Are you having problems or are we doing something wrong.

I have switched to Linux Mint 7 when my Ubuntu got messed up by me. I was thinking why go through the hassle of setting up Ubuntu again when the 9.10 release is so close so I thought I would try Mint 7. I have found Mint 7 easy to install and all the video and audio are pre-installed. I would suggest anyone looking to switch someone from Windows to Linux use Linux Mint. The common user will find it easy to learn and use.

Unfortunately got plenty of time...for a meeting until school starts for me.. not that it helps just thought I would vent my frustrations..

sorry about this.. currently working on our meeting up time and day. be sure to leave comments/suggestions in our Mailing List about meetup times

i would like to hear from everyone in KLUG, what would be the ideal
time for you to make the meetings? If we have it on week nights, we will
have to find another meeting locations since the Library closes at 6pm
and i know most of you have day jobs. I will be talking to the owner
of Rockheads Comics and Games. Maybe he will let us use his basement or 2nd floor (mostly they are reserved for Large Dungeons and Dragons and other RPG groups)

Many Blessings
