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,
Jason

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

So you have heard of all the advantages and geeky babble about how Linux is better and you have finally decided to try it? Just one thing, you don’t know an awful lot about Linux to get you started. How about some free downloadable ebooks to teach yourself Linux, that you can download today? Would that help?
Free – you ask? Yes, free. Welcome to the world of Linux where things are free both as in free speech and also as in free beer (mostly)!

A list of Features from Fedora 11 LXDE's wiki :

* PCManFM: File manager, provides desktop icons
* LXPanel: Feature-rich desktop panel
* LXSession Lite: Standard-compliant X11 session manager with shutdown/reboot/suspend support via HAL and gdm
* LXAppearance: LXAppearance is a new feature-rich GTK+ theme switcher able to change GTK+ themes, icon themes, and fonts used by applications
* LXTask: Lightweight task manager derived from xfce4 task manager with all xfce4 dependencies removed, some bugs fixed, and some improvements of the UI

Kenosha Linux User Group will have a meeting on July 25th @ 2-4:30pm
at Kenosha Library Southwest in there Meeting Room. The topic will
be Advanced Terminal Commands.

Location: 7979 38th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53142

Chip Millholland will be going over some commands in the terminal as well as teaching how to make "alias" for common commands. Chip has been a Linux user since Fedora Core 1 and is very knowledgeable. Any other wish to contribute can contact us here.

Drinks and Snacks are allowed in the conference room. Feel free to

For web browsing, most of us would prefer Firefox or Opera because of their speed, security, stability, and overall features. While a handful of people may like surfing the web with some of those terminal-based browsers.

For a change, why not try some web browsers that would perhaps cater to a few of your specific needs and would serve as an alternative to your existing browser. Why not try some of these Free and Open Source web browsers that you may have never heard of:
