REMINDER: Meeting Thurs, Aug 21st, 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, At this WLUG meeting, our guest speaker will be Liz Johnson, friend of long time WLUG member Greg Avedissian. The topic for this meeting will be an introduction to GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Here are some words about the talk from Liz: ===== A paint and image editing program, GIMP is Linux's software alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Learn basic methods of working on images such as jpeg, bitmap, tiff. GIMP can import PDF documents and the Raw image formats used by many digital cameras. Restore old photos, color-corrrect, resize, crop, correct exposure, redeye, flash. Use special effects such as emboss, sharpen, smooth. color enhance, transparency, sparkle, or softglow. Create your own desktop images, icons, and logos. GIMP can help you lose 15 pounds overnight, or make you look like everyone's favorite movie star. It's open source, 100% natural, non-toxic, and free. ===== The website will be updated shortly. See ya there!

Re: [Wlug] Accessing Host Names

by kstratton＠fastmail.us

I will look into using /etc/hosts. I can not use /etc/resolv.conf since it is overwritten by DHCP and I want it that way (for now). Thank you.

That's a bit of overkill though. I think there's a small combination dhcp / dns server that does this automatically although the name escapes me at the moment. The other (and very simple solution that I use) is just to edit /etc/hosts and add ips / dns names. You'll have to update it on each machine and update it if anything changes but if you only need it for one computer it's not too bad. Especially when you consider that before DNS there used to be a hosts file that you'd download so you could find all of the hosts. -- Eric Martin Key fingerprint = D1C4 086E DBB5 C18E 6FDA B215 6A25 7174 A941 3B9F

Accessing Host Names

by kstratton＠fastmail.us

I am trying to access the use SSH using host names instead of using the raw IP address. I am currently using DCHP to connect to an inexpensive Linksys router and I can see the host names and their IP address when I view the connections list. If the machine name (ie CLYDE) is not the host name, please correct me. Is there some way to extract this information? If so, how? Do I need to run bind to be able to use the host names in place of IP addresses? Any help would be appreciated. -- kstratton(a)fastmail.us

Try to look on intel's website for a driver, although you might have to roll your own. I looked quickly on the AIX page but I couldn't find the HCL (Hardware compatibility list). I'd check if your card is on that too. HTH -- Eric Martin Key fingerprint = D1C4 086E DBB5 C18E 6FDA B215 6A25 7174 A941 3B9F
