Topic/Agenda: Casual meeting at the People's Pint -- 7:30 pm! We'll be discussing the organizational aspects of our Linux User Group, and ways that we can make it work better.
Driving Directions to the People's Pint in Greenfield, MA, and map
Some topics that have been suggested:
- More about nailed up connections: DSL, Cable, Masq and shared IPs, AND how to convince the cable man you love Redmond so they will setup your connection.
- How to run a home server: security, running the web server, email, DNS, what 24/7 really means
- The security talk
- SSL, SSH and VPNs: running secure data over the Internet
- WINE, games, and 3d-acceleration:
Quake3Arena, Unreal Tournament, 3d card prices falling, and the porting of the LithTech Engine all having become a reality for Linux Users, what will come next for Linux 3d? Also, to be discussed, getting Fallout (and other apps) to run on WINE, without a Win9x install.
- Embedded Linux - How far has is come from myth to reality.
- The customization of Linux - Similer to above but how can you produce a miny distrobution which only has the pieces you want. For example in a high school programming lab a distrbution with gcc, python, etc. But none of the administrative tools or other non-programming software.
- Java on Linux - The JDK is out, what else needs to be done / where to go from here.
