The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution of the GNU system. In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles.

Free to a good home: HP PSC 1315xi All in one printer

by Tim Keller

Have you been waiting to get yourself one of those awesome web connected printers, but didn't want to shell out the big bucks? Well... you're out of luck, this is NOT one of those printers. If however, you'd like a reliable inkjet printer that works well with linux, let me know. The scanner / copier / printing functions all work. Better yet, it has new ink cartridges in it as well! Mind you, it is an elderly printer, but I've had zero issues with it. The only con is that HP branded ink cartridges are getting expensive, but the knockoffs work just fine as well. Let me know if you'd like it and I'll hand it over at the meeting tonight. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
