New pages for 2026
This year, the Oregon section will have more pictorials covering the coast to Treasure Valley.
In order to do this, more pages have to be added to include sections of the state.
There will be a section for:
The coast.
The Willamette Valley will be broken up into three sections (Portland, Linn/Benton County, and everything else).
Eastern Oregon
There are plans to cover IT courses including:
Linux operating system
Computer languages.
Some features have been started, for the upgrade. Since this server farm has been expanding (in recent months) these projects won't be completed until the current website (under construction) is completed.
The end of Windows 10
Support for Windows 10 will discontinue on October 15th.
Since it's release in August of 2015, it has been in use not only for computers at home but also the brief time they were operating Windows Phones.
This year, server upgrades updated equipment to Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 to take advantage of the security chip features as well as less power consumption and improvement to storage using solid state hard drives.
Some older computers may not work with Window 11. As a result of this, the Linux section of the website will be featuring how Linux can be used on these machines through the use of Ubuntu.
The upgrade to Windows 11 is free but fees may apply after October 15th.
Linux Tutorials
Many server farms use Linux as the primary operating system. Even this farm uses it as an operating system (along with Windows 11 and Windows Server).
Linux operates a great deal of our cloud and data base services. While there are more support people and clients using the system, it is now time to create Linux operating system classes.
Two of them will be created in November and December.
One class will cover the desktop version of Linux.
The second class will cover the commands using the terminal.
There are many things in your house that are already running Linux today. This can show you how it works.
