Replacing Windows 7 with Linux
==============================
What to do with your Windows 7 PC when its EOL arrives in January next
year? Install Linux of course! Wen Lin will lead this talk with an
intro, then get everyone to join in for a Q&A - let's share all the
great ideas (and personal experience) on how to install a variety of
Linux Distros to replace one's obsolete Win7 - and breathe new life into
one's PC.
There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux
installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop
if you need help with a particular issue. This will now occur BEFORE the
talks from 12:30 to 14:00. The talks will commence at 14:00 (2pm) so
there is time for people to have lunch nearby.
The meeting will be held at Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond 3121.
Late arrivals please call (0421) 775 358 for access to the venue.
LUV would like to acknowledge Infoxchange for the venue.

*NOTE: This month's meeting will be on WEDNESDAY night due to the
Melbourne Cup public holiday. The library closes at 7pm so arrivals
after that time will need to contact Andrew on (0421) 775 358 or any
other attendee for admission.*
Speaker: Duncan Roe, nfq - an ad blocker that runs on the router
The concept of running an ad blocker on the router is not new. nfq is a
particularly lightweight approach to this concept [in terms of lines of
code, scripts &c.]. This presentation concentrates on the technical
aspects of implementing nfq, with also an overview of 2 alternative systems.
nfq is based on nftables. Like the other 2 systems, it can be configured
to run on the device, instead of on the router. The presentation
includes a demonstration of nfq on the device.
About the speaker:
Duncan has had a Linux desktop since 1993. A software developer, he
first used Linux professionally in 1994. He has been hacking on Linux
ever since.
Many of us like to go for dinner nearby after the meeting, typically at
Brunetti's or Trotters Bistro in Lygon St. Please let us know if you'd
like to join us!
