Cutting the Cord - Watching TV (Legally) Without Cable with Rob Truman
Have you wanted to cut the cord? Pay less money each month for the programs you want to watch? Don’t know how to do? Afraid to take the leap?
Rob will help us discover our options when it comes to living without a cable bill each month. We will learn how to use our Internet connection for all our viewing needs, including cable, local, premium, music, and sports channels.
 
Rob will be joined by Bill James and Sandee Ruth, talking about how they cut the cord and are enjoying it!

This is the same link as the Linux #6 workshop in March; if you registered for that one you
do not need to register again.
Registration closes at 11:30 pm (PT) on Tuesday, April 20.
 
Learning Linux – Customization
The topic for this workshop presentation is “Customizing the Linux Desktop.” One of the great features of Linux is how customizable the desktop environment can be. We will have four Linux users start with the default desktop look that comes with different distros and show us how they customize it to meet their likes, needs, and workflow.

Murray Strome – Xfce
David Hatton - MATE
John Kennedy – Cinnamon
