[mdlug] Void Linux Presentation at Phoenix LUG, 7/11/2024 7PM Mountain Standard Time

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The Thursday, 7/11/2024 Phoenix Linux User Group (PLUG) meeting
commences at 7pm Mountain Standard Time (NOT daylight savings time)
online at https://lufthans.bigbluemeeting.com/plu-yuk-7xx . This will
be a repeat of my 7/3/2024 Void presentation, but at a time more
convenient to North Americans west of the Mississippi River.

The past few months the Void Linux distribution has become the
subject of curiosity and questions from folks wanting something closer
to the metal, folks wanting to shed their training wheels, folks who
want a rolling release that doesn't mess you up every few updates,
folks curious about the runit init system, for folks looking for a
smaller, cleaner musl based Linux, and from folks who just wonder what
all the hype is about. 

I'm often the recipient of these questions because I've used Void
since March 2015. I'll answer all these questions at this online PLUG
meeting. If people want to ask me questions about the runit init system,
that's also on topic.

During the meeting I'll demonstrate a Void Linux Virtual Machine
installation.

It's important to remember that Void Linux isn't for everyone. Not even
for the majority. For some, this presentation helps by showing what
Void Linux can do and how to achieve it. For others, it's an early clue
that Void's not right for them, so they can spend the time looking at
other distros.

I'll save plenty of time to answer questions posed by attendees, so
this presentation can serve as a first step in evaluating Void Linux.
Hope to see you there.
