General Information
The SLO Linux Users Group is a non-profit organization of Linux users and computer enthusiasts based in San Luis Obispo, California. This LUG is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the SLO Bytes PC Users Group.
We meet once a month at the KCBX Training Center to share our experiences about Linux, demonstrate applications and features of the Linux operating system. Other discussions include computer hardware as it applies to Linux and interfacing with the Windows or MAC operating system. The majority of our users have SimplyMepis, Linux Mint and Ubuntu installed so we usually cater our presentations around these distributions.
Contact Information
Questions about our group may be directed to our coordinator, Alan J. Raul.
You can also sign up on our Mailing List to be informed of our monthly meeting and other event announcements.
Linux Distributions
Some Linux distributions boot into memory and are run from the CD,
DVD and USB flash drive. These are called Linux LiveCD's, LiveDVD's,
LiveDistro or LiveUSB. It's the easiest way for Microsoft Windows users
to experience Linux without installing anything!
What is a LiveCD/DVD or a
LiveDistro? Other Linux distributions you install onto a partitioned
hard drive either with or without Windows. You can even install Ubuntu
as a Windows application using
Wubi.
Popular Linux ISO files are available at the meeting if you want to burn
your own CD's or DVD's. We will transfer the files to your USB external
hard disk drive or laptop. You can also bring your own CD's or DVD's and
we can burn them at the meeting for you.
