Title: October Meeting ideas?
Post by: Jason on September 27, 2016, 02:47:13 PM
I've been having trouble getting PC-BSD (TrueOS now) working on my laptop and another topic I was thinking of doing isn't working out either. Does anybody have something they could present at the meeting on Monday next?

I have OpenMandriva on a USB flash drive, that I could demo.

If Bob has an hdmi to vga dongle, that I could use, then I could use my HP 11" notebook, for the demo.

Actually, I've got the HDMI-to-DVI (or is it DVI-to-HDMI?!) adapter we've been using with a 6' HDMI cable to feed signal to the display from an HDMI port on a laptop. That oughta do it...

See you there! <^8#

It'll be interesting to see Mandriva again. Originally, it was how I got hooked on Linux. Thanks for offering, Bill and for the cable to borrow, Bob!

The HP 11" notebook has a hdmi port, so if a 6' hdmi cable will reach the projector, I should be good to go. :-)
