PPC distros

by Nate Godin

Would anyone be interested in a demo of Linux/*BSD on the Macintosh platform? I have Yellow Dog Linux (a RedHat clone with architecture-specific stuff added), and MacOS X (based on Darwin, which is a portable, free* BSD derived from 4.4BSD and FreeBSD). I can also talk about Mandrake/PPC 8.0, and other Linux/*BSD options for older Macs.

REMINDER: Meeting Wed, Jan 16th

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Wednesday, January 16th, 2002, on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA. For this meeting, please note that we will be in a **DIFFERENT LOCATION**. The meeting will be in Perreault Hall in a building called Fuller Labs (yes, still on the WPI campus). To get directions, click the yellow "WLUG meetings" picture on the top of the WLUG website, and then click "directions". It is in the building next to the Gordon Library. Taking place at this meeting will be the greatly anticipated "Linux Distribution Bakeoff". Representing several different distributions will be: Doug Waud - SuSE 7.2 Tim Keller - Mandrake 8.1 Adam Keck - Debian (Stable) This meeting is being held to discuss distribution specific features. The aforementioned folks profess some level of expertise with their particular distribution and will extol us with the virtues of same. I'm sure it'll be a fun and informative meeting. (Should I have been in sales instead of engineering?! Nah, nobody would buy anything from a long haired guy in a suit...). At this meeting we will also discuss the upcoming WLUG Install Fest, to be held on Saturday, February 9th, 2002 at Stratus Computer in Maynard, MA. This will be our third annual install fest at this location, and each has been well attended in the past by both installees and WLUG members. If you are interested in attending, please send e-mail to Tim Keller (tim.keller(a)stratus.com) Lurkers and voyeurs are also welcome to watch and learn. Be sure to tell your non-Linux friends! Lunch will be served, and refreshments will be available. Safety mitts will be made available to prevent inadvertant plug pulling of powered computers (darn, Doug's not coming). There will also be a few items available for raffle at the install fest. I suspect that I can scrounge up a few items for raffle at the WLUG meeting as well. After the meeting, we'll make our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. All are welcome! -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org
