Howto Install an RT Kernel
Sun, 07/02/2010 - 23:02 — delboyInstalling an RT (Real Time) Kernel
For many of us myself included I have or at least thought I had little use for a Kernel other than that which was supplied by the likes of Ubuntu, Mint and so on. If I needed to change the kernel for some reason or some aspect of it, and the menu.lst file did not update after a new kernel was installed, well you could as a matter of last resort edit the file yourself. Well, that is an option any longer editing of the "grub/menu.lst" used to be so easy and now, guess what they changed it in Grub version 2 time will tell if it is actually better.

Things to do after a fresh Ubuntu Install
Sat, 02/01/2010 - 21:12 — TailzerI have been meaning to do a write up the things that I install or configure after a fresh install, when I came across this at The Silent Number's Blog and thought it was much better than anything I could write so copied it here. original article can be found @ http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/09/top-things-to-do-after-installing...
I have added at the end the only step I feel that is missing - installing Android fonts!
Enjoy and thanks to The Silent Number for the great post.

A friend of mine recently asked if I could recommend a Linux distro for him to load for one of his family. Of course, there are several mainstream distros that would fit the bill, but I've become rather fond of Linux Mint for new users swapping from Windows.
Although Mint uses gnome as it's desktop, its developers have created a nice menu, that Windows users will feel right at home with and of course, it's based on the Ubuntu family, which in turn uses the very solid Debian core.

Here is summary for the proposed session. To dispel any possible illusions, I don't intend to cover the "mechanics" of any particular database, except maybe in passing. Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. As practical sessions tend to take longer than a straight presentation, I recommend we get started on this by 8:30pm at the latest, if we run as part of our regular evening session.

Novice view of Linux

The purpose of this workshop is to outline the common areas between Windows and Linux so that you will see, as I did recently, that operating Linux is similar to Windows other than some of the places you would go to find a particular item differs and may have a different name. Linux is not something to be afraid of; in fact it is quite straight forward.

Ok we tried to obtain some noted speakers from Ubuntu and offered space to those less fortunate all this and the threat of power disruption as well, still SoSLUG triumphed. My congratulations and thanks to my colleagues and friends who helped us put this event together and aided in its execution. A special thanks to Amy McKenny and Emma Emmerton who allowed us to use the gallery space over this two day period. Additionally we would like to thank Terry Piper of Pogo Records for helping with the food and refreshments for us all.Below are some photos I managed to take on Saturday 3rd October but both were very special rewarding and busy days for us all.
