Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Belated announcement
by James Gray 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

After a recent wlug meeting (I think it was December?) I mentioned that my wife and I were expecting a child. Tim asked me to send an announcement to the list. (So this announcement is not completely off topic.) Below is my belated announcement regarding my son's birth. Since I use mostly Linux and my wife Mac OS. We'll have to wait and see which one he picks up first. But at least it won't be Windows. :-) James and Heather Gray are the proud parents of Owen James born 10:26 p.m. December 31st, weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 22 inches long. Many fireworks were launched in his honor :-) All is well with Owen, Heather and James.

Ceph
by Jason Couture 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Has anyone here used ceph? I'm debating using it in a production cluster and would like input, alternatives, etc. Requirements: High availability, scales dynamically, fault tolerant, NO CODE CHANGES ( must appear as a posix compatible file system and be able to be mounted as such) nodes must be able to be added to the cluster at will. Prefer multi to multi copy for recovery (removed slow disk recovery bottleneck)

Announce: March WLUG Meeting & Northeast Linux Fest
by Chuck Anderson 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Hi folks, NEXT month, we will have our regularly scheduled WLUG meeting: Wednesday, March 14, 7:00PM but most likely in a slightly different location. Our current meeting room will be in the process of being annexed by the dining hall, so we'll most likely meet in our old/previous meeting room on the opposite side of the same building. ALSO, the Northeast Linux Fest is happening again this year: Saturday, March 17, 9:00AM at Worcester State University. I encourage you to register for free here: http://www.northeastlinuxfest.org/ Thanks, and see you next month! Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group
