Sorry to go off-topic for a minute, but I'm going to be moving in the near future, and have a lot of items which need a new home. With the upcoming WLUG meeting (which I'm planning to attend), it seemed like a good time to post the list. :) If you're interested in any of the items, I'll be happy to bring them out to Worcester on Wednesday, and you can get them after the meeting.

HI everybody, Indeed, the meeting room has changed, in anticipation of a larger crowd than normal. I'll update the website shortly. We shall be meeting not in the Access Grid room (aka the usual place), but in Olin Hall room 107. Olin Hall is across campus from where we normally meet. We have had a few meetings there in the past. Here is a WPI campus map which may be of use to you. http://wlug.org/files/wpi_campus_map.pdf On this map, the Access Grid room is approximately between locations denoted A and H. Olin Hall is at location 21. Remember, we're meeting in Olin Hall room 107. We're also hoping that our friends from the IEEE Worcester Section will be able to join us at this meeting. See ya there!

Re: [Wlug] Big Package

Please excuse the slightly off-topic comment from this AMD fan-boy... But *if* Sun gains any traction selling these machines the stock could appeciate nicely...maybe even spectacularly. Now is a nice time buy while the stock is relatively cheap if you can tolerate the risk, which is significant. -- Gary Chuck Haines wrote: >Yea, I installed KDE.

Yea, I installed KDE. Just to test the system compiling, we did various -jXX to see what would happen. At -j100 to gcc the system load avg was about 50, however the system was as responsive as if there was no load average, it was awesome. We finally got the load average to over 200 when the machine finally starting having severe lag problems. CH On Thu, 09 Dec 2004 21:26:14 -0500, Gary at home <gary(a)hanley.net> wrote: > Awesome!

Reminder: Guest Speaker 'maddog'

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI everybody, The next WLUG meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 15th at 7:00 PM. Our guest speaker will be Jon 'maddog' Hall, the Executive Director of Linux International, and his topic will be: "The Many Ways of Making Money with Free and Open Source" Details about the talk, and some biographical information about our speaker, can be found on the WLUG home page. maddog is a great speaker who has spoken at several WLUG meetings in the past. His talks are always quite informative and entertaining, and the response from the WLUG membership has been overwhelmingly positive. There is a reasonable probability that the meeting location will move. If so, I'll let you know, and I'll also have a sign posted at the Access Grid room if we do move elsewhere on campus. For now, assume that we'll be in the usual place. Bring your friends!

Big Package

by Chuck Haines

Can anyone suggest a really big package to compile on a Sun 64 bit operton machine? We just got a new one and I want to test it out.
