As per our usual summertime custom, meetings have been suspended for the family vacation-time months of July and August. We hope all our members and their families will be experiencing a safe and enjoyable summer season. We hope to see many of you at the next meeting in September.

We're always looking for ideas for meeting presentation subjects. If there's some subject of current interest which might be useful to our users, please don't hesitate to send Larry Lavins an email with details, including possible presenters.

For all those folks who have not yet made a serious attempt to install and take a look at Linux, why not spend some time this summer to try Ubuntu. Latest version is 10.04 (aka Lucid Lynx). Lynux just keeps getting better and better with each new version every 6 months: April & October. There is an excellent on-line manual for Ubuntu 10.04, 163 pages in PDF format, which is also one of the best written ever! It can be downloaded (free) at the ubuntu site.

There's lots of help available from other PASUG members. Larry Lavins, David Moskowitz, Donald Strumpf, Rich Sias, et al are Ubuntu users. There is also an active Linux SIG (Ubuntu oriented), at PACS which is conducted by Jim Fisher. Lots of help is available there. PACS meets the 3rd Saturday of each month (except Jul/Aug) at the Super Giant supermarket, Willow Grove. Meeting facilities are superb. PACS main meeting is at 12:00-1:00pm, and the Linux SIG meets 1:00-3:00pm.

If any of our PASUG members have ordered and received copies of the new eCS 2.0GA, comments/reviews would be greatly appreciated from these folks who may have installed it. I haven't seen any responses yet. Please post your comments on PASUGTalk listserver so they may be shared by all our members.

PASUG members are also reminded that volunteers are still needed to assist Barry Mann with maintenance of the PASUG website.
