Hey all, The last Debian class graduates on November 29 (and any makeups will take place that same day). The first Ubuntu class starts the very next week, on...
I talked to a CWE LUG member today, and he mentioned that main.nc.us might be able to use some of the equipment that we have lying around in the workshop. ...
Nate- One of the next items on the shop agenda is to go through all that gear and take an inventory. We will take what we need first- probably only a handful...
I ran Scratch 1.3 using wine today, and was impressed. If we use wine, we can skip the step where I have to "package" any new Scratch versions. We can just...
... I ask that you test it out on a Pentium III with 256MB of RAM. If it works fine, then it *should* be OK ... still, as Robert said, it would be nice if it...
To clarify, I was speaking for myself. I don't know if anyone else will be there or not. As for next week, I will probably be there. Regards, - Robert...

I forgot to mention, Doc said one of the classroom machines (#5, I believe) has some problems with the Windows partitions. Apparently there are two (?) and C:...
I'll swing by tonight on my way home and have a quick look. Do we have any more spare clasroom machines that we could just swap in? Regards, - Robert...
There might be one more spare on top of the grad-ready shelves. My hope would be that this one just needs some partition resizing like Robert did on the other...
Yup. That seems to be all it needed. Apparently, it got cloned but not resized. Compare Student5 to Student6: === 5 BWorksUbuntu Filesystem Type Size...
I propose that we establish a planning committee, involving Board of Directors, ByteWORKS volunteers and BicycleWORKS volunteers, to discuss our data storage...

Hey all, great news! Ubuntu will be sending us 100-200 (not sure of the exact quantity yet) of their CDs for the 8.04 version, in their cardboard sleeves. ...
Hey, all. I've been talking with Nate, and he said something that got me thinking (uh oh!): "It's difficult explaining the myriad of reasons/explanations for...
