23 Aug 2013

I attended a suburban Chicago Linux User Group last weekend for the first time - as it turns out - in my hometown of Batavia where Fermilab is located:

 

Fox Valley Linux User Group - August 2013 meeting:

http://www.meetup.com/FoxValleyLUG/events/131099572/

brief demo on using TrueCrypt to create an encrypted USB flash drive, but we should have plenty of additional time for other discussion and presentations/demos if anyone has anything they'd like to cover.

 

Here are notes I took which might be helpful to others:
