Self-Introduction and LinuxGlobe Invitation
by Markus McLaughlin May 17, 2008

May 17, 2008

Hello everyone, my name is Markus McLaughlin, I am both a member of the Fedora Project and a Linux blogger with a blog at http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com. About 5 years ago, I became a fan of Linux but did not actually use it until I bought my first Mac, which was a Mini, I now use an Intel iMac and I run Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and openSUSE in VMware Fusion. I want to reach out to other Linux hobbyists AND writers who want to promote Linux. What I want to do with my blog is to add other Writers who want to both promote Linux and help those who don't know what to do with it, with columns. Hopefully, Red Hat, Novell, and other companies will want to help fund a major Linux Magazine right here in North America. I want to help fill a niche that needs to be filled and HELP those who can't afford a Windows/Mac computer have free tools, internet access, and an inexpensive used laptop/desktop. Anyway, if anyone here has any ideas on what we can do together to promote Linux in this part of Massachusetts, PLEASE contact me. Fedora 9, IMHO, is much better than Ubuntu, so please check out the Fedora site at http://fedoraproject.orgsoon! Onward and forward!!! *Mark McLaughlin Hudson, MA*

Debian/*ubuntu security bug and a question...
by Brian A. Dewhirst May 15, 2008

May 15, 2008

So, someone directed me at this bug report: http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/debian-openssl/ I'm afraid my head spins a bit when I try to make sense of what corrective measures should be taken... has Ubuntu already rolled out a bug fix which will take care of the problem? If not, what needs to be done to fix my machine? Thanks, Brian

port security question
by Simeon MacMillen May 12, 2008

May 12, 2008

I'm trying to set up Echolink (amateur radio software) on Ubuntu (through WINE). My computer failed the firewall tests -the troubleshooting material recommended the following: Allow UDP destination ports 5198-5199 between Internet and PC in both directions Allow TCP (source port any, destination port 5200) from PC to Internet What security risks do I introduce by doing this? (Is it worth the risk?) Thanks, Simeon MacMillen P.S. I've been on the Wlug mailing list for a year, though I've only managed to make it to one meeting so far.

Meeting Topic Idea - MythTV
by joel d May 7, 2008

May 7, 2008

WLUG'ers, I have a meeting topic idea but very little knowledge of the proposed topic, MythTV. I have a DVR through my cable provider, Charter, but am unhappy with it's features and capacity. I am ready to buy a capture card, re-dedicate some PC hardware and commit to building a Myth box. I know this was covered back in 2003 by Tim Keller, but my lack of recall has me missing details of his excellent presentation. Any others think this is a good idea for a meeting topic? If so, would anyone indulge by presenting Myth with their knowledge, hardware info (PC spec and video spec) and setup & install details? Joel
