  • An install was scheduled for Charles Breaux but was not done because of a great amount of data (200GB plus) that was on the computer that was not backed up. He was given a USB thumb drive with Ubuntu on it and explicit instructions on how to install it after he has backed up his data.

  • We were asked what CLUG stood for by an individual who thought it was a drinking association. He was put on the right track.
