Date: Monday, June 19th, 2000:
Topic/Agenda: Apache & LUG future - Rich Roth will be giving a talk on setting up Apache. We will also continue with the discussion of bringing organization to Wemalu- the next step of which is figuring out what types of 'officers/councilpeople' would be necessary.
The Greater Franklin County Linux Project was awarded the grant from Bell Atlantic, so some people from that group will be at the meeting to talk about the project, which benefits students in area high schools.
- Time: 7 PM -til?
- Cost: FREE!
- Location UMASS, 301 Morrill Science Center, Amherst, MA
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.
