Sun co-processor card for sale...

by Adam Keck

Hello All, I have a SunPCi II (model #: X2131A) board with memory and Sun PCi II 2.2.1 software for 20.00. I can bring it to next week's meeting, if anyone is interested. From http://www.mmayer.net/sunpci/sunpcii.html: * Processor: Intel Celeron * Clock: 600 MHz * Memory: 64 MB (max. 512 MB) * Part Number: X2131A (#375-0131) * Software Version: 2.2.1 * Supported Machines: Sun Ultra and Blade Workstations (Ultra 5, 10, 30, 60, 80, or 450; Sun Blade 100, or 1000) * Supported Guest OSes: DOS and Windows 3.11, Windows 9x, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional * Solaris Versions: 2.6 and above I thought I would see if I could get Linux to run on it when I bought it, but between school and work I haven't had time... -Adam

WLUG demos...

by John Stoffel

I know I haven't been ot a meeting in a *long* time, but I do hope to make one this spring if I can. Right now I'm playing with Arduino controller boards on my Ubuntu desktop. Fun blinky LEDs, etc. http://arduino.cc http://www.ladyada.com (where I got my parts) http://www.sparkfun.com http://www.evilmadscientist.com (lots of neat stuff) And loads of others in google. It's pretty neat to play with, and it's interesting moving from the IDE (which has a sucky editor) to a more pure Emacs/Makefile driven setup. I figure maybe I could come and demo this at some point. Any interest? Loosely Linux related, since I'll be using an Ubuntu LiveCD and thumb drive to setup and demo the environment. John

That isn't how meetup works. People who desire to be a part of the meetup group would sign themselves up, just as they sign themselves up for this mailing list. There are no plans to retire this mailing list.

Re: [Wlug] I guess this is goodbye to WLUG

by E Johnson

Thanks James. I'll pass along the group-finder thing to the soon-to-be-ex-Mac guy. The text file has been broken since May 2012. This is a genealogical database, that runs in a program that accesses the file, which consists of names, dates, places, etc, plus notes. I think the bogus character might be an at sign @ but if so, it won't help to search for it, because GEDCOMS contain several @ for each individual. My database contains 115,000 individuals. I think I know what family (surname) I was working on when it broke, though, and it still hangs there. I guess I could grep the file for that surname and get it to output a couple of lines after it finds each instance. So WLUG isn't dead yet, although some of it might be asleep. But we're here. I appreciate your help.

Ubuntu CD's

by Mike Leo

I made the mistake of offering a linux basics class at work. I was going to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to get the class some hands on. This way, they could take the CD and install it if they wanted too. I figured about 5-10 responders would say they wanted to go to the class. So far about 20 people are coming. Anyone have any extra 5.1 Ubuntu CD's they can part with? I need at least 10 more now and don't have time to wait for the mail. I know I could make copies, but talking about the free-ness of it, it would be better to hand them a nice legit copy. If so, please bring them to the LUG meeting tomorow if you can. Thanks... Mike

Re: [Wlug] Suse Linux Professional 10?

by howard＠howardwhite.net

<<The last Suse Linux software I purchasedfor laptop use was Suse Linux Professional 9.2. Looking now to upgradeto 10. Anyone know the latest Suse release for desktop use? AndI don't think they call it "Suse Linux Professional" anymore. And did Suse ever solve that Yast slowness problem (at least I thinkit was something like that).>> Go here and look at how to install Open SuSe for free. I downloaded it, put it on a DVD, and installed without a hitch. Then look on the OpenSuSe page for the Smart Package Manager (just add /Smart to the url), which is a nice utility for keeping all your apps up-to-date.

Their ogg player for one, and a couple of other things that Shawn Gordon says SHOULD run on an iPAQ. I want tKc to stay in business, so I don't mind paying some money, for stuff like that. I like their Calendar better than Qtopia's or Opie's for example. Though Opie's got the "today" screen, great touch! Will qtopia apps run in Opie, how "forked" is it? > > > 3.

Actually, I was thinking of just setting up shop in a local coffee house with laptop, iPAQ, and mug. How long does the install take?

LTSP training video online

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This link might prove interesting for folks with very fast Internet connections: http://www.lpbn.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=50&mo… If that doesn't work, try this: http://www.lpbn.org Click "The Mandrake Hour" (left side) Click the second video "The Linux Terminal Server Installation" It works for me with the Linux verison of RealPlay. I remember a brain storming session many of us had in the WPI Library parking lot after a WLUG meeting where we thought about making Linux training videos. We'll, somebody is doing it! On the Linux Public Broadcasting Network, there are many other videos.

Re: [Wlug] code review / process flow tool?

I recently started using Trac http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ with a subversion code repository. Not sure if it meets your needs, or if you can adapt to work with it.
