Some recent coverage of SOSLUG in the local newspapers:
If you have ever installed RoseGarden and especially a beginner attaining a sound or noise from this application can be a troublesome affair. This article aims to address this issue by explaining the process from a technical perspective to get RoseGarden and Jack Server to work and work together. I would explain from the outset I am not a musician I rather wish I was as understanding many of the concepts would have been a lot easier. This is rather a clinical approach and may not be the correct way but least, it does work as my images in this article will show.

I have been meaning to do a write up the things that I install or configure after a fresh install, when I came across this at The Silent Number's Blog and thought it was much better than anything I could write so copied it here. original article can be found @ http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/09/top-things-to-do-after-installing...
I have added at the end the only step I feel that is missing - installing Android fonts!
Enjoy and thanks to The Silent Number for the great post.
A friend of mine recently asked if I could recommend a Linux distro for him to load for one of his family. Of course, there are several mainstream distros that would fit the bill, but I've become rather fond of Linux Mint for new users swapping from Windows.
Although Mint uses gnome as it's desktop, its developers have created a nice menu, that Windows users will feel right at home with and of course, it's based on the Ubuntu family, which in turn uses the very solid Debian core.
Here is summary for the proposed session. To dispel any possible illusions, I don't intend to cover the "mechanics" of any particular database, except maybe in passing. Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. As practical sessions tend to take longer than a straight presentation, I recommend we get started on this by 8:30pm at the latest, if we run as part of our regular evening session.

The purpose of this workshop is to outline the common areas between Windows and Linux so that you will see, as I did recently, that operating Linux is similar to Windows other than some of the places you would go to find a particular item differs and may have a different name. Linux is not something to be afraid of; in fact it is quite straight forward.
