Linux User Net
Links read on the Monday Night Linux User Net — Mondays, 8:10–9:00 PM Pacific, on the ARRG K7RPT repeater system. About the net · Archive · Feed · Discuss on groups.io
Each week below collects the news items discussed during that Monday's session. The net has been on the air for about ten years, and this list exists because people kept it week after week: stewards of the earliest years whose records I haven't found, then Mark, KC7NYR — kc7nyr.com carries the list back to early 2022 — and Russ, KC7MM, at kc7mm.com. Thanks to all of them, equally. If you hold pieces of the early history, the groups.io forum would welcome them.
