Ubuntu-us-md Digest, Vol 100, Issue 1

That will make Ubuntu difficult and even more dangerous to load. I had some very bad expexperiences with Ubuntu before Wubi which caused a computer to crash and burn and am leery of repeating them. Hopefully they will replace Wubi with a better program that does the same thing. However it would be great if our group could have a work shop on loading Ubuntu for dual boot without Wubi.

Stuart, 


A couple of days ago I saw on OMG! Ubuntu that WUBI is likely be dropped on 
Ubuntu 13.04.

Thank Ron, 
I got Wubi working and was able to down load 12.04 using ethernet and get it 
working. I couldn't get wireless working for 2 days until I downloaded 141 
updates via ethernet cable. Now it works on Ubuntu. I still need to download 
Firewall and GIMP. Yesterday I saw a Poloroid tablet in Big Lots for $80. Looked 
like a pretty good tablet for the money.The tablet runs Anderoid jellybean. I 
didn't buy it and won't until Ubuntu comes out with it's regular tablet distro 
and I know it will work on the tablet I purchase. I'll dump the jelleybean and 
load Ubuntu. A reminder our train club meets Mondays and Wed. in Catonsville Sr. 
center at 1:00. 
Stuart

Subject: Ubuntu-MD Meeting Follow-up Summary 


The recently reactivated Ubuntu-MD Loco team met in my Catonsville 
office this past Saturday for several hours. I wanted to share with you 
some of the things that we discussed. 
I announced that the Community College Baltimore County (CCBC) 
Catonsville campus has expressed an interest in hosting our future 
meetings in their Linux lab. They run a Redhat Linux academy. They also 
want to get students and faculty involved with our Ubuntu group. Our 
plan is to have our next meeting on Sat, April 27 at the college. 
Also, I have had discussions with two local computer assembler companies 
about building new desktops and laptops with Ubuntu. I have stressed 
that these systems should include discount pricing since there is no 
software licensing costs. They in turn would recommend that their 
clients join our group to further enhance their Ubuntu knowledge. 
Moreover, we discussed the group's future direction and programs and 
generally agreed that the more alliances we can make with new users of 
Ubuntu the better. We also need to find ways to get Windows and Mac 
users to try Ubuntu. Participation in future bugjams, install feasts and 
other Canonical supported programs was briefly discussed. 
I gave a condensed presentation on Ubuntu tips and tricks. A copy of my 
notes are on our website, Ubuntu-Maryland.org. I also emphasized the 
need for us to become comfortable with the command-line terminal 
commands and I will cover that in more detail at our next meeting. 
Lastly we discussed possible future presentation topics such as gaming 
on Ubuntu systems, mobile devices running Ubuntu and Ubuntu server 
programs. 
Thanks
