Please come early, if you can, to help set up the room.

We are always interested in presentations related to Linux. Please reach

The meeting will follow our normal format with introductions all around,
collecting technical questions to answer later, then any presentations,
finishing with our best answers to the technical questions.

In particular I got an email from a member asking about the different
layers used in the linux GUI stack so I plan to address his questions
during the meeting. I am sure this will be a lively group discussion.

Last month we discussed:

We had a quick discussion on installing linux that again mentioned using
Ventoy to build a proxmox server:
