[plug] [plug-ctte] Possibility of a demonstration of Linux

[Nick Bannon]

Hi John, Sue, everyone. Glad I could stop by today. Apologies we didn't
get a demo together for you, I'm sure there's more chances for that
upcoming. We'll probably be having our own AGM in January, with a few
events between now and then, which you can see on our website calendar.

There's a bit of discussion about our recent Installfest event (August,
in South Perth) on our list right now, or the next one - we finished
full of enthusiasm to run it again, maybe even quarterly. (Feel free to
join our mailing list, too)

Here's another group doing it at scale:

It's not just old PCs, of course - it's nice to see that there's
official certified support for brand name hardware available in shops
now, and not just in expensive niches, e.g. this DELL laptop, $699 on
sale at JB Hifi:
