Hello Everyone!

 Another month approaches, and we have another great talk for you all! :)

*Topic*: Why I use Linux -- And have never used Windows
*Presenter*: David Both
*When*: February 12, from 7-9pm at North Carolina College of Textiles, room
2207
*Summary*: In this presentation, David Both, Linux Geek Extraordinaire,
explores why Linux is the best operating system for him. He also looks at
why, despite having used nearly every version of Windows ever created, he's
never used Windows as the primary OS on any of his own computers. He will
look at the best Linux distributions for new users and explain why each is
a good choice. David encourages questions and comments at any time during
this session.

The meeting date on the web site is given as Jan 12. I have it in my
calendar as Feb 17. Is the 17th correct?

As soon as I get confirmation, I'll add the correct date and post it on
my web site.

Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, TriLUG always meets on the second thursday of
every month, the second thursday of February 2026 is the 12th, I
accidentally left it in January on the site-- but it should be fixed now!
