[Hampshire] Light relief for a busy Friday
Hi everyone, Just came across this story. One for the IBMers amongst us perhaps. http://lovemeow.com/2012/06/stray-cat-receives-employee-badge-from-ibm/ Tim B. -- Hampshire Linux User Group Chairman -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
[Hampshire] PLUG bring a box meeting tomorrow, Saturday 21st September
Reminder! You are all cordially invited to the next bring a box meeting of the Portsmouth Linux User Group. It will be on 21st September, from 13:00 to 17:30, at the Broadoaks Social Club, Hilsea. http://www.broadoaksocialclub.net/where.html We shall have Richard Bensley talking on databases. He is, I think, planning on a fairly basic introduction to MySQL and Maria DB, with a real life example of a project. For newcomers: There is plenty of parking just opposite the club, and Hilsea railway station is immediately adjacent. The door will probably be shut. You will need to ring the bell and ask for the Linux meeting. Go up the stairs and through the bar to the door at the back left corner of the bar. I shall aim to be there not later than 12:30.

Re: [Hampshire] choice of motherboard for use with Linux

I was wrong about DNUK - they do have Intel systems, but they cost considerably more and some require a graphics card to function with Linux at all. How serious are the concerns with integrated AMD Radeon graphics? It appears that the GIMP can make some use of multi-core processors, but I don't think I could make proper use of a 4-core system, so I am now thinking the AMD A6-5400K Dual-Core option might be best.

I've prepared a posting for facebook and will see if anyone wants to sell me a Linux computer.
