Linux Showcase and upcoming WLUG meeting

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, I will be attending the Annual Linux Showcase in Oakland, CA on Nov 8 - Nov 10. Is anybody else from the group planning to attend? I'm flying out on Nov 3 to see relatives in Los Angeles, and then I'll fly up to Oakland for the conference. I'll be sure to have a trip report for you all at the next WLUG meeting on Wednesday, November 14th. If anybody else has a small presentation that they'd like to give to the group at the next meeting, please let me know before Friday night if possible. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Hey, they also misspelled "it's" - "Its worth a read" should be "It's worth a read" - you can tell Taco wrote the writeup :) On Tue, 30 Oct 2001, Keller, Tim wrote: > Hey I just checked slashdot and they took my submission about the VM (per > Brians "An excellent read") I actually mentioned that I got the scoop from > a fellow Lugger and mentioned WLUG, but it looks like they just gave me a > name drop. > > Very cool non the less! > > Hey Brian, next time were in the Boyton, your beers payed for. > > Tim. aka "xturnip" > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Hey, I'm on slashdot!!!

by Keller, Tim

Hey I just checked slashdot and they took my submission about the VM (per Brians "An excellent read") I actually mentioned that I got the scoop from a fellow Lugger and mentioned WLUG, but it looks like they just gave me a name drop. Very cool non the less! Hey Brian, next time were in the Boyton, your beers payed for. Tim. aka "xturnip"

RE: [Wlug] An excellent read for the day

by Keller, Tim

Hey, its a great read... And for the record, I'm using the Arcangeli VM and I like it better than the "Rik" VM... I hope Alan and Linus don't end up forking the kernel, I think it would be bad for linux. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

Re: [Wlug] More than 2 66mhz 64bit pci slots?

I don't think there are any. The best I know of is the Intel Quad Coppermine board used in their Koa (SRKA4) platform. Penguin sells that machine as the Relion 4500. VA used to sell it as the 4450. I'm sure you can still find someone offering it. The Intel STL2 and all of the other boards built around the ServerWorks chipset appear to only support 2 fast-wide slots. ccb

After going through Tyan's web site (I swear by them), the only model I could find that wasn't using 64-bit 33mhz slots and had more than two at 66mhz was this one: http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderhet.html , featuring 3 66mhz 5V slots and 1 66mhz 3.3V slot. Expensive, I'm sure, as dual processor, dual ethernet, and dual SCSI tend to be. Brian J. Conway dogbert(a)clue4all.net "LINUX is obsolete" - Andrew S. Tanenbaum, creator of Minix - Jan 29, 1992

More than 2 66mhz 64bit pci slots?

by Keller, Tim

I've been looking around and I'm yet to find an x86 machine with more than 2 66mhz 64bit PCI slots. Does anybody know of such a machine (with 4 or more 66mhz 64bit PCI slots) they can be on separate PCI buses. Thanks, Tim.
