Whoops; clearly I need to check this mailbox more often. The tclug.org web site broke when RTE migrated mn-linux.org to a new hosting provider. I think it was brought to my attention by someone on the fediverse who was interested in perhaps kicking off some installfests in response to Microsoft's 2025-10-14 EOL of Windows 10 -- people have correctly noted that the more stringent hardware requirements of Windows 11 mean a lot of hardware with years of usability left will needlessly become e-waste. More people getting into Linux = less e-waste; what's not to like? Whether that effort is going anywhere is another discussion to be had, perhaps. :-/ From an infrastructure perspective, I'm behind the new website; the content was done by the aforementioned person.
