This newbie stuff is a great idea! While I've been able to "install" a
working
version of Caldera Linux using a pre-made CD, doing so doesn't really tell me
how to do it on my own (the diff betw. buying a car & knowing how to rebuild an
engine). And while I've taken a class in basic commandline Linux, some things
got left out, like installing a standalone version, and duh, compiling a kernel.
And I feel stupid asking such fundamental questions here, when 95% of NBLUG
are clearly v. advanced & the topics are about as far over my head as Mt.
Rainier.
Again, if there's anything I can do to help, please inform. I plan to be at
the meeting.
P.S. Linus Torvalds being interviewed today (right now on KQED 88.3, repeated 7
pm) on Fresh Air. Also on at 4p today KRCB 90.9/91.1

Hello all! Our June meeting is just around the corner (8 days to be
specific). For June we have a meeting for all the new Linux users out
there, and what we hope, will be the first of a series of talks targeted at
the user who is new to Linux and is interested in gaining some foundation
skills.
