At the April FOSS SIG:

I added LXLE Linux to Larry’s computer.

I helped Jean see how to use his LXLE computer.

I tried to convert Maxine’s XP computer but had errors. I brought it home and installed LXLE to her hard drive in another computer with more RAM. It now works in Maxine’s system w/ 512 Mb RAM. I used and slightly demoed PLoP – a freeware tool that allows USB booting on legacy computers.

Dave converted Gayle’s computer.
