North Bay Linux User's Group General Meeting:
When: Tue Jan 10th, 2017 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM
Speaker: Robert Thille
Location: O'Reilly Media, 1005 Gravenstein Highway North, Sebastopol
Topic: Linux in an Altoids Tin?
It used to be that to run UNIX you needed a room full of computer and
guys in white lab coats to manage it. Then, along came Linus Torvalds
who wrote Linux, a UNIX-like os for his 386. He open sourced it and it
was off to the races. Now Linux (and other UNIX-like OSes) run on all
kinds of hardware; from super computers to your phone or even smaller
systems. Some are even designed to fit in an Altoids tin. This talk
will go over some of your options for running Linux on SBCs (single
board computers), why you might want to do so, and how to get started.
See you there,
E. Frank Ball III
