I hear you man, good luck. At least you had the backups. Sent from my android wireless device.

If I can't it's ok, the backups will suffice. I was just hoping for more :) The replacement is on it's way so this is a moot point pretty fast. On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 11:28 … [View More]

Reminder: WLUG Meeting tonight! (11/10)
by Tim Keller Nov. 10, 2010

Nov. 10, 2010

Hey Gang, Tonight we've got a WLUG meeting in the conference room adjacent to the Morgan Hall dining room at ~7PM. Though we're usually there a bit earlier. As of yet, there's no designated speaker so it'll be a round table discussion, unless someone steps forward, the floors open. Following protocol there will be consumption of pizza afterward. Hope to see you there! Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Best 802.11abgn router?
by John Stoffel Oct. 14, 2010

Oct. 14, 2010

Guys, I'm looking to replace my WAP54G (802.11bg) wireless access point. I really need to get more speed to the wife's computer, and I don't want to run wires. I'm thinking I'd like to get something that DD-WRT can run on, and possibly something with dual radios and/or dual 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz band, so I can have a secured network, and an open, slower network for guests. My home network looks like this: cable modem <---> router <----> GigE Lan switch <-- clients … [View More]

Oct. 5, 2010

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker on these lists for a while, but I wanted to let everyone know: WPI's ACM chapter is hosting a Linux Installfest on November 2 at 7:00PM. We expect to have a panel of Linux community members speaking prior to the installs. Last year we had an estimated turnout of 50-75 students. If any of you would like to join us for installation, to hear the community members speak, or just for moral support then please feel free! We will be meeting in Fuller Laboratories … [View More]

New Memeber

So, to make a story short I am a new member to this group. I've been here, close to the Worcester area and would like to meet with you guys. I have been using Linux for the past 10 years without a LUG, so this time I would like to do things differently, and get together. Basically I wanted to say that I have been a lone ranger for the last 10 year. I have been to the website but there is no mentioned of the next meeting.

A friend of mine wants to use Skype for video conferencing since the windows beta handles that. Does anyone know of an open source program equivalent for linux and windows?
