Topic/Agenda: Demo Day! Sign Up for a time!
We need people to sign up to man the table on October 5th. We will be needing computers with interesting Linux/*BSD things going on and as much propaganda as is humanly possible :)
Print out some fliers to post (thanks to Allen!). These will be collector's items soon and they look cool!

• Time: 8:30 AM -til 4?
• Cost: FREE!
• Location UMASS, Campus Center, near the Info Desk, 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.
