Re: [Wlug] Has anyone got an opinion on LINDOWS 4.0?

I haven't used Lindows 4.0, but I did notice a review over on unixreview.com: http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=8989/ur0312j/ > From: "Sarin,Sajiv" <Sajiv.Sarin(a)stratus.com> > Date: 2003/12/24 Wed PM 12:30:54 EST > To: "'wlug(a)mail.wlug.org'" <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> > Subject: [Wlug] Has anyone got an opinion on LINDOWS 4.0? > > Thanks, _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

Linux and 802.11g

by Arturo Sedo

Holiday cheer would be facilitated greatly if I were able to find a 802.11g wireless card that works with linux. Does anyone in the group have any experience or insight regarding 802.11g and linux compatibility? Happy Holidays! Arturo

Recent and Upcoming WLUG meetings

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, Please note that I just rescheduled a bunch of the meetings for calendar year 2004. Please check the WLUG website for more information. Please accept my apologies for scheduling two Wednesday meetings for consecutive months. I am scheduling around my commitment to teach a Linux course for the Adult Education program in Chelmsford, MA. A note about the December 2003 meeting: This meeting was well attended, with at least 30 people present to watch the "Revolution OS" DVD. Many thanks for your generous donations to help defray the cost of the raffle items (we broke even *and* set a WLUG record of $58.50!), and to Chuck Anderson for his help with the projection system. It was nice to see some faces of people who occasionally attend meetings in addition to the "regulars" and a few newbies. With regard to the January 2004 meeting, there was an interesting discussion on the WLUG mailing list recently about digital signatures and e-mail. I would like to know if there are any volunteers who would like to do a presentation on this topic. If so, please send me an e-mail. Here are some ideas which came to mind: - how to create your own digital signature (and why) - how to get your friend's digital signature and be sure it is authentic - how to configure (pick a mail client) for use with digital signatures - verifying a digitally signed e-mail - other related ideas? Finally, if you are unfamiliar with this comic strip, take a look. Its pretty amusing: http://www.userfriendly.org Happy holidays!

it was a *great* December meeting!

by Brian McLinden

The film Thursday was tops, a great intro about where free software and open source came from. In a mock of the film, Doug Mildram stood us all for free beer at the Boynton afterwards. Present: Scott, Amy, Greg, Andy, Doug, Chuck, Keith, Al. I truly appreciate all you do, Andy. It was a great evening and intro for the holidaze ahead! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/

Re: [Wlug] Give away...

by Lee Keyser-Allen

I'm sorry to spam the list, but I can't help pointing out the irony inherent in the items being offered. The fact that one crt has developed a red ting, whilst the other has lost it's ability to manufacture red at all. I since a physics proof on the conservation of red electrons<sic> in the Keller household. Really I think the two must be offered as a set to avoid some sort of cosmic imbalance :). Sorry again, I couldn't resist; my brain does this to me every now and then, and I felt the need to share the pain.
