I work until 8pm, about 20 minutes away. How late will this be running if I wanted to stop by? Is pre-registration required, or just optional? Would it be okay to show up late? -- Aaron Haviland cell: [508] 344 - 8380 home: [508] 943 - 7974

Re: [Wlug] meeting topic

I have Gentoo on my notebook and it works great! I especially like the fact that the package that has my wireless card in it (orinoco_usb) was written so that it will automatically download the cvs HEAD and build that so I get the most up to date driver. I've had this installed for about a year and it only took about a day to install it, but that was mostly due to the fact that I choose the stage1 install, which isn't the main documented installation method anymore (stage3 is now). Its not that its hours and hours of work - its more like a little research up front and a hours of entering data in here and there (at least in my experience). If you're going for ease of install and use I would def have to throw my hat in the ubuntu ring. Kubuntu is about the easiest install I've seen. -Jared On 1/30/06, Mike Leo <mleo963(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Am I wrong, or is the gentoo install insanely comlicated? > > Although I did not sit in front of it from start to finish, it seems like an install takes hours > and hours of work... > > I followed the Handbook (some 80 pages of documentation), which i'm sure is very accurate and each > step worked as advertised, but in the end it was too much. > > After an install of debian, which takes me less than 20 minutes, this was too much for my poor > little brain to take, and I eventually gave up. > > In addition to that, I can't for the life of me, get slackware to consistantly install lilo > correctly during the install. > > Any comments on either of these would be apreciated, however, I am just writing this to toss my > vote in for a linux install fest as a meeting topic. > > I have no problem bringing in a laptop to show the simple, eligant, streamlined, 20 minute debian > install, but I would like to also see someone go through a gentoo install, and assist on a > slackware lilo config...all of which can be done via my laptop if needed. > > Thanks ! > Mike > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Re: December WLUG Meeting! Topic: Fedora Silverblue, toolbox and Flatpaks!

Hey all, I'm glad to be a part of this! I'd just like to give a fair warning that my material is probably going to be rough around the edges since I haven't had much time to prepare a slideshow. Honestly I'm thinking that I'll probablyalternate between a slideshow and just showing you some examples on my laptop. -Josh On Mon, 2019-12-16 at 09:21 -0500, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Hey Everybody, > We've got a meeting this Thursday on December 19th 2019! > > Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (our usual haunt) > Date & Time: December 19th, 2019 > > Our speaker this month is Joshua Stone.

I'd be game. Who wouldn't want to travel to Worcester with passport in hand? ;) BTW: I ran the 2 keysignings at LISA 03 and had http://www.biglumber.com/ recommended to me as a useful site to organize key signings in the future.

I am violently, foaming mad, opposed to the idea of giving that mailing list to any third party. This includes Facebook, Yahoo, Google, as well as meetup.com, which I have never heard of. What advantage could there possibly be? If somebody wants to plant a pointer to the WLUG web page there, or most anywhere else, then go ahead. I can't stop you and I don't want to try. -- Keith
