Re: [Wlug] Topics for upcoming meetings!

by thinkbrown＠gmail.com

I'd be willing to give a talk on Linux virtualization beyond Virtualbox if anyone's interested. I've been running a CentOS-based virtualization server for a while now, so I could talk a bit about that. -Logan On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 8:10 PM, John Stoffel <john(a)stoffel.org> wrote: > > Ansible/chef/puppet/salt would be all good. > > Eric> I like em all, I'm down for giving the RPZ talk whenever. > Eric> On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 5:30 PM Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > Eric> Hey Gang, > > Eric> After last meeting, we were sitting around and started > brainstorming some > Eric> ideas for upcoming > Eric> meetings. > > Eric> Here were some of the ideas that came up... > > Eric> - 2 factor authentication > Eric> - Full disk encryption or partition encryption with luks + ubee > token > Eric> - Personal rpz > Eric> - Home automation with Raspberry pi > Eric> - Ansible and/or other automation / configuration tools > Eric> - git methodologies, i.e. now that you've got git, how to use it > Eric> effectively > Eric> - Modern Linux kernel compiling for fun and performance! > > Eric> Suggestions?

Meeting over the Access Grid?

by Frank Sweetser

As a few of you may already know, WPI has just recently installed an Access Grid Node. For those of you who have never heard of the Access Grid project, it's a completely immersive video conferencing system - like traditional videoconferencing, but arranged such that the technology portion becomes invisible, and you can converse with others as if they were in the same room. More details at http://www.accessgrid.org/ My idea was that if we could find a couple of remote sites with people who might be interested in joining us, we could have a meeting over the Access Grid. A list of other Access Grid sites is up at http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/fl/accessgrid/nodes.htm and includes BU at least. If anyone knows anyone else at any of these sites who would be interested, we can start seeing about scheduling the time needed in all of the spaces. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu WPI Network Engineer

Basically, it's a StrongARM SA-110 based device as described on handhelds.org / platforms . Might be useful for ipaq development. It's up for grabs, for free. Reply if you want it. If I get more than one reply within the next week (i.e. by noon next Thursday), the giveaway will be done by some form of lottery (or it could be done by meeting raffle if wlug still has those). Disclaimer: The last time I tried -- ~ 2 years ago -- it would boot linux via bootp. I also had something of a useful distro (?) "installed", with binaries cribbed from a mix of stuff from handhelds.org and netwinder rpms. But it will probably take some doing to get it up and running since I have no documentation for the current firmware; and, the last time I checked, I wasn't greeted by a 'may I help you' prompt upon powering it up. [I would power it up now but I cannot find the power supply :) ] ...Dean

Re: [Wlug] WLUG meeting idea - Distro comparison

by Justin St. Marie

Depends on your hardware and what packages you want. If your hardware is supported (or at least works with it) You can't beat RHEL in terms of stability. However, even with external repos, you might not have all the packages you want, or the versions of them you want. CentOS still doesn't have 6 out (based on F12/13), so the hardware support is still about on par. 5.x could be problematic. However if you want to give it a shot, try Scientific Linux. It's at version 6, and claims to be 100% binary compatible to RHEL. Fedora is going to have more updated packages and drivers, at the cost of stability. However, you will probably have better luck getting it on a laptop. Can't speak for Ubuntu or Gentoo.
