[QCLUG] Mythbuntu demonstration - December

[Jim Kristan]

I agree, Panera's does not seem to be a good option for setting up a
desktop, I also would like to see demos, and Blackhawk seems like a
great option.
And thanks again for all the noob help I received on my laptop at the
last meeting. I showed off my Linux eye candy after Wednesdays
Quad Cities Computer Society meeting, and  heard a lot of wows, I did
not know Linux came that far, and how can I get that.
I'm  bigger on the no virus or spyware and meager system requirements
than the eye candy, but it's the eye candy that gets peoples
attention.
