Belated announcement

by James Gray

After a recent wlug meeting (I think it was December?) I mentioned that my wife and I were expecting a child. Tim asked me to send an announcement to the list. (So this announcement is not completely off topic.) Below is my belated announcement regarding my son's birth. Since I use mostly Linux and my wife Mac OS. We'll have to wait and see which one he picks up first. But at least it won't be Windows. :-) James and Heather Gray are the proud parents of Owen James born 10:26 p.m. December 31st, weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 22 inches long. Many fireworks were launched in his honor :-) All is well with Owen, Heather and James.

looking to join the local linux community

by Wolf Bronski

Hello, My name is Rich. I've been using Ubuntu and CentOS for a while now. I'm into servers and I'm interested in documentation. I'd very much like to come to the next meeting as I live very close to WPI. I've written a guide about running a Redmine server on CentOS 6.2. It's not complete because i want to add other repositories like Git and SVN besides Mercurial (hg). You can download it at http://107.22.171.253/hg/test/file/fb531026ab76 I've written it in DocBook but there is also a PDF in the repo. Please email me if you wish. Have a great day.

Re: [Wlug] ZFS on Linux vs. BTRFS or stick with EXT4?

Too many times > I've needed to shrink one LV to make space for another LV. OK. You could use dm-thinp for this, but I understand an aversion to adding another layer. Cheers, Jeff

Arduino

by E Johnson

I have an Arduino here, never used; new in packaging. This is an Arduino Uno, I guess the original, made in Italy. The kit contains the controller board, a 16 x 2 character LCD module (green screen), and a power supply. See wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino I will never use this, but I know someone can. Maybe a fun project for the right kid or parent/child combo to build something with it. Someone should come get this. I am conveniently located near Elm Park, not far from WPI and easy to find. You could drop by on your way to/from the meeting. I could tuck it away out of sight on the front porch for you, with your name on it. Liz J

Re: [Wlug] Smart package manager

by John Stoffel

Andy> Those of you who attended the most recent WLUG meeting might Andy> remember me complaining that the version of YaST on OpenSuSE Andy> 10.1 has a pathetically slow program for handling software Andy> installation. Greg Avedissian mentioned the Smart package Andy> manager (http://labix.org/smart) as an alternative, so I gave it Andy> a try. This is really interesting. I've been very happy with 'apt-get' on my Debian box, but I've been totally ticked at how slow 'yum' is on my Fedora Core 3 box at work. I should probably just rebuild the thing, but hey, it's my main desktop and working for now. But yum is just not a fast too. John

Red Hat controversy

by Joshua Stone

Hey everyone, I didn't talk about the Red Hat controversy at last night's meeting, namely the decision to stop publishing RHEL sources to git.centos.org <https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream> and the implications this has on the various RHEL clones. If there's anyone still interested in hearing about the rationale behind this recent decision and the response that's created from clone makers, then I recommend listening to the following Linux Unplugged episodes: Caught Red-Hatted | LINUX Unplugged 517 (timestamp 00:08:39): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra-mXDI-keo The Clone Grift Wars | LINUX Unplugged 519 (timestamp 00:06:02) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdYn_xlOma4 I hope that brings some much-needed context to the discussion. - Josh
