What do you do when you need more audio than your laptop can supply?
Projectors are great for video but how do you project your audio?

The Virtual World of Linux
Bob White and Brad Youngman
Bob and Brad will demonstrate Linux and Windows from 2 approaches. The goal is to show you ways to try Linux, where to download distributions (they're mostly FREE!), and what to watch out for during setup. Bob, a primarily Linux user since 1994, will show a dual boot system, and then concentrate on native Linux with Windows running in a virtual machine emulator. Brad, a Linux user since his retirement from Stanford University, will demonstrate a native Linux system with a variety of Window and other Linux systems all running in emulation on a new laptop.
A number of the Linux distributions and tips on how to install them are described in this handout.
General Discussion Meeting
Fred Townsend and Kevin Lynn
We resume the regular SVCS meeting schedule with an open discussion of hardware and techniques for building your own system. Feel free to bring your questions and problems to be discussed with a group of build it yourself enthusiasts.
NOTE: This tour has been rescheduled for week of July 18th
As of May 6th, Intel informed us that they have closed their Tech Museum for renovations. SVCS has been invited to join the reopening celebrations expected to be the week of July 18th.
Fred has sent messages to all those who signed up for the tour. He will send a new notice sometime around July 13th confirming the new date and time for the event.
We have had a lot of interest in this tour and space may be limited. There is a possibility that we may schedule a second group. For those who have not yet signed up, if you are interested in joining this tour, please RSVP with your name and email address to inteltour@svcs.net.
The regular Monday night meetings of the Build It Yourself and Windows Software SIGs for May are CANCELLED!
