Re: [NBLUG/Announce] [NBLUG/talk] Nov meeting: Installing Ubuntu Linux onto a Chromebook with crouton

by Allan Cecil

Note that our elections are tonight following Frank's talk and seeing as we haven't had any nominations submitted by E-Mail this year we'll be doing that process live at the meeting. Come in person if you can not just to do your civic duty to vote but also to pick up free T-Shirts, stickers, and other shwag from Linux laptop maker System76. We'll also have lots of free O'Reilly books available for the taking at tonight's meeting. Oh, and come for Frank's talk. I'm amazed how far the Chromebook community has come. See you tonight at O'Reily at 7:30, A.C. ****** President, North Bay Linux Users' Group On 11/13/2017 10:46 PM, E Frank Ball III wrote: > Topic: Installing Ubuntu Linux onto a Chromebook / Chromebox with crouton > When: Tues Nov 14th, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM > Speaker: Frank Ball > Location: O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA in the Tarsier conference room > > Chromebooks and Chromeboxes are cheap, easy to use, and pretty secure; > but after a while the shortcomings of Chrome OS get annoying and I want > my Linux.
