Fair enough.. At least in the future we'll have someone in WLUG with up to date medical training!

Cara, That's good to know. I wonder if there's somewhere else on campus we can meet? I know we've meet up in one of the rooms in the gym building. Tim.

Re: I need advice on a new ISP

I know it works, because I get mail from WLUG and can see the web page. Also I know some people who know some things about it. The Oracle web pages that I have read do not say much about the operating system that is booted in a cloud "instance". What is it an instance of? Do I have to have an installation boot.iso to copy it to the cloud computer? Do they boot an OS before I log in? Do I get a choice? Digital Ocean mentions Debian Linux in the "Self Guided Tour" (some web pages linked together with "Next->" buttons), but on the Oracle web pages, I can't find any mention of any OS, Distribution, or software other that Oracle Database, which is not something I need. I have put some questions about ssh at: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/none/final.html#SSH > This sounds like a good WLUG topic: Getting Started with the Cloud. > How to open a Cloud account, install and manage Linux, IP addresses, > firewall rules, etc. I'd like to see that. Unfortunately, I am unlikely to actually go to WPI. Is there something I can read? Are all "Cloud accounts" about the same? I guess it's been almost two decades since I compiled a kernel to find a bug, but it seems like it all changed overnight. -- Keith
