| dowdle | Greetings. I'm in the Bozeman, Montana area... and one of our long time members recently moved to Columbus, GA. He is elderly and in poor health and recently bought a new computer and moved into assisted living. Looking for someone who could help him get his new computer setup and working with his cablemodem ISP. I don't have all of the details yet but was hoping there might be a Linux user on the Columbus area? | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| dowdle | His computer came with Windows 7 but he nuked that and put on Ubuntu 8.04 but given the fact that that is so old... and EOL'ed... it didn't recognize his network card. I burned and mailed him CDs for 10.04 LTS and 11.08. I'm hoping one of those will work with his NIC. | 00:46 |
| dowdle | The reason he used 8.04 was that was all he had handy. | 00:46 |
| dowdle | A few of us Montana folks hang out in #ubuntu-montana although most of us aren't Ubuntu users... we just didn't want to create a new channel. | 00:55 |
| dowdle | I'll check back tomorrow. I'm still at work and it is about time to head home. | 00:55 |
| jeek | 11.08? | 01:02 |
| dowdle | So, anyone near Columbus Georgia? I'm in the Bozeman Montana area but one of our long time LUG members moved there. | 22:22 |
| dowdle | Answering "no" or "not really" is ok... it doesn't always have to be positive. :) | 22:50 |
