Hi all,

This is the first I have heard of this organization. I read their webpage and it looks interesting. They are located not far from where I used to live in Worcester. I'm considering contacting them.

Andy, you don't need to take classes from them... We can help you with the switch to Debian! ;-)

Ouch! Good one! :-)

<donning asbestos skivvies> Hm. This sounds like some sort of distro-war a-brewin'... ;) (besides... Debian may be stable, but it's outdated...) <doffing asbestos skivvies before the rash starts>

Actually, I was wondering if there might be some synergy between the two organizations.

if there IS some sort of synergy, perhaps they could be tapped to speak to WLUG about how older systems can be recycled? I've got a move coming up in a few months, and my wife is pestering me to "get rid of" some of my old equipment... <sigh> I should make another list... -- William Smith wsmith@chezsmith.com Fall River, MA

One of their people had contacted the WPI Student ACM Chapter asking for help, but I'm not sure if anything ever came of that. I think a couple of them even showed up to the Linux Installfest the ACM had back in early April, so there's definitely activity going on with that group. Doing something jointly definitely sounds like it could be mutually benefitial.

HI all, I just fired off an email to one of their contacts. I introduced WLUG, invited them to a future meeting, and asked if they had any ideas on how our groups might help each other. I'll let you know if/when I get a response. Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Thanks for the replies guys, I had changed the file to '777' but it was still giving the permission denied. I'll check the postgres user. Rob Mahlert

It also may have permissions set to require it to be run by the "postgres" user.
