Please note that the Nov. 10 meeting is on the second Thursday of the month. For time and location (map), see: TokyoPC (TPC) Usual Meeting Time and Location (Map)

SuSE LINUX 10 user interface looks like Windows XP, but SuSE 10 seems to be more snappy than XP. It is easy to install and dual-boot on a Windows machine. It’s much more secure than Windows (no need to frequently download huge security fixes and anti-virus software), which makes it ideal for people who have only dial-up connections.

With CrossOver Office ($40) you can run Windows apps. like MS Office on top of LINUX. Or you can use the Open Office (MS Office clone) that’s bundled with SuSE 10. We will walk through dual-boot installation on a Windows PC, and supply copies of the English SuSE 10 “Live" Demo DVD, or installable Evaluation DVD or CDs. The supported version of SuSE 10 sells for about $60 (about 8,400 yen in Japan).

You do not need to reserve in advance to attend the meeting—but we will sell the disks at cost during the meeting, and would like to know how many to bring. Email “president ( at ) tokyopc.org” to reserve a copy, and please specify: 
* SuSE 10 “live” demo DVD, and/or
* SuSE 10 installable evaluation version, (1) DVD or (5) CDs.
