February Beginner's Workshop
Hello Tony
Apologies for not following up how you went with the Ubuntu Install on 19 Feb. As you may have noticed, I was scheduled to give a talk and got caught up with it.
How ever I would like to encourage you to come again on March 19 same time and I spend some time resolving any problem you may have and answer to any question you may have, as I will have more free time on the day.
Furthermore, I hope there will be other members available to help. We had an unusual series of personal circumstances which made it impossible for many Members to be present at the last workshop. Hopefully it wont happen again.
Cheers

February Beginner's Workshop
Hi Tony.
it depends which particular Linux version you want. Usually someone will have Ubuntu, Fedora or perhaps another one there.
If you want a particular one, just let me know and I see if I can get it.
Alternatively you can get it on latest Linux mags CDs at your news agent or recent APC mags (perhaps at a council library near you).
Cheers

Beginner's Workshop
I guess if you want to discuss questions beforehand, the luv-beginners list would be the best place to do it - as you can see, the website forums are not very active (and we the moderators are not very quick at approving posts).
The mobile broadband depends on the particular broadband USB you have - for most of them, it's very easy, but a couple of them simply don't have drivers - the manufacturers don't care - and those can be either more difficult or impossible. If you bring it to the workshop, we can quickly find out which one is the case.
With 22" monitor, that's a bit harder to bring to the workshop, but we can at least show you where to look for the configuration tool and how to work with it.
As for anti-virus / malware, it's indeed true that in practice, nothing is needed. Generally, Linux only has anti-virus / malware software for situations when it's acting as a server for MS Windows computers, and it needs to scan e-mails before delivering them or scan files on shared drives.

Beginner's Workshop
Hello
I am interested in attending the next Saturday session. I was wondering if you need to submit a question or two before the session so that some scope can be prepared?
I would like to know how to install my mobile broadband USB ("3") on my notebook running Ubuntu/Virtualbox OSE-with guest additions to be used with either ubuntu or Virtualbox/Windows Vista. also on the same config machine being able to utilise my 22" monitor using virtualbox/guest additions since I can only get the same size screen as my notebook (15.4") on my 22" monitor?
Lastly I have heard that with linux you don't need to have any anti-virus/malware software installed since linux is secured due to access to the user having to give access to the root each time by password? Is this practically true? or what anti-virus/malware would be recommended?
Thank you for your time. Cheers Peter -

Beginners Workshop
Hi Linux Users,
Its a really really big chance that i missed when i missed out on Open Software Day at State library in Victoria. Is there any way I can get some of the disks from that day and some stickers. I saw the video on Youtube, it was awesome.
Please keep me posted with everything.Also when is the next workshop.
I would love to learn about programming in unix for linux. Correct me if i am wrong. I am looking for a society where I can learn more about it. A place where i can learn because Linux has always been my passion but i never got the right opportunity but today here i am . :)

Hi Ameya,
The 21st of August is a saturday - not a weekday.

Practical Arduino
The authors put a lot of effort into producing high quality, colour photographs with a purpose built light-box. It was terribly sad to see that effort significantly degraded in the final result. The authors also fought very hard to get better typography (consistent and readable fonts, layout, etc) ... and, once again, the end result did not reflect their desires.
Despite these obvious publishing shortcomings ... it was great to see that Jon's and Hugh's passion for putting microcontrollers to practical use ... still shines through the book's rough exterior. With content that is accessible to newcomers to electronics.
The success of the book prompted Jon to create FreeTronics as a means of providing readily available boards / kits for the projects in Practical Arduino.
Looks like his next big project is to put all this to everyday use in his own (under construction) home ... and produce an on-going series of video blogs on YouTube.

Beginner's Workshop
I am interested to join this session. Do I need to be a member to attend? Any booking or entrance fee required?

Beginner's Workshop
As many beginners as you like!!
... Well if you want to bring a friend or 2, you are absolutely welcome to do it, and in fact very much encouraged to do so.
There are usually 4-5 LUV Members in attendance to assist, so it really depends on each ones circumstances and how much time we can spend with each individual seeking help.
Remember this is a friendly and informal event.
Daniel.
