North Bay Linux Users’ Group

general meeting

Linux Install Event @ Reuse Hub

When: Sat October 17, 2026 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM

Location: Reuse Hub

Just a quick note that our own Dan Aukes is running a workshop, “Repurpose Your Old Computer with Linux” at the Petaluma Reuse Hub this Saturday:

Do you have an computer that you would you like to convert into an internet machine or a home server? This workshop will provide you with the opportunity to install Ubuntu Linux on your machine and answer questions along the way. Please come with a spare, backed-up laptop that is not essential for your daily tasks. We will discuss non-destructive alternatives for trying Linux. Almost any 64-bit x86 processor is supported, including Intel x86 Macs from between 2006-2020. A working USB port is required.

You can learn more and sign up at the Reuse Hub web site, or reach out to Dan on the mailing list if you wish to volunteer.
