Re: [Wlug] WLUG BBQ !!!

by James P. Gray

I have no idea how many people might come. Maybe 30? Is someone taking RSVPs? If your main goal is to advance your knowledge in Linux you may find it more worth your while to attend a regular meeting then the BBQ. During regular meetings we cover specific topics or have free ranging discussions. My understanding is that the BBQ is more of a social event for the group. Someone correct me if I am wrong. kstratton(a)fastmail.us wrote: > I recently joined the mailing list to get an idea of how active this > group is.

Re: Next Meeting November 18th, NOT the 11th.

by Joshua Stone

Hey Tim, We're good to go! I've reserved the conference room at the Hudon public library for the following times: Nov 18 @ 7:00PM - 8:30PM Dec 9 @ 7:00PM - 8:30PM I figured it'd be best to reserve the room for the December meeting just in case we decide to meet in-person again for the holidays. If we decide on a different venue, then I can free up that time slot. If anyone still needs to figure out parking, there are multiple options available with the library parking lot being the most convenient: https://www.discoverhudson.org/plan-your-visit/ - Josh On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 12:01 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Joshua, > > Please reserve a conference room for us at the Hudson Public Library. > > Chuck, an exploration of how Intel secreted minix into everybody's cpu's > would be a great talk! > > Tim. > > On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 11:16 AM Chuck Anderson via WLUG < > wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > >> Happy Birthday Tim! >> >> I think we should do a talk on MINIX.

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting Wed, May 15th

by Robert L Krawitz

From: Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)attbi.com> Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 08:10:48 -0400 At this meeting, Andy Stewart will give a short presentation about his recent experiences with PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol). The Linux PLIP software allows the user to connect two computers together via their printer ports. A network is run between the parallel interfaces. If you ever wanted to build a cheap, quick (as in rapid setup), and dirty point-to-point network that actually functions, this is it. Speaking of parallel port hacking, I want to do some parallel port line sniffing to determine exactly what command sequence the Windows driver sends to a particular printer. Has anyone done anything like this? Is the simplest thing likely to be to simply set up Samba on the Linux box and strace it? -- Robert Krawitz <rlk(a)alum.mit.edu> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf(a)uunet.uu.net Project lead for Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton

Re: Wlug meeting on Thurs. Dec 10th 2020 @7pm.

by Frank Sweetser

From what I've read, the role of Fedora won't really change. Here's my understanding of what the plan is: - Fedora: unchanged. This is basically the playground for what RedHat will one day become. Every once in a while, they pick a Fedora release, and use it as the foundation for the next RHEL release. For example, RHEL 8 was based off of Fedora 28. - CentOS Stream: despite sharing the name, this is something completely new. It appears to basically be a pre-release of candidate updates that are slated for full release into the RHEL channels. Think of it as pre-release, but post-beta. - RHEL: unchanged. The commercial release we all know, and some of us love. - CentOS: gone. The old CentOS that was designed as a binary compatible, bug for bug match of RHEL, is no more.
