RE: [Wlug] Burning ISO's

by Keller, Tim

Your other solution might be to bribe a member of wlug to make a copy of their 7.3 disks in exchange for a free beer after the meeting tonight. unfortunately, 1. I don't drink beer and 2. I won't be able to attend, otherwise I'd make a copy for you... Later, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Simoncini, Matthew [mailto:Matthew.Simoncini@bsci.com] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 12:55 PM To: 'wlug(a)mail.wlug.org' Subject: [Wlug] Burning ISO's Hi everyone, I recently downloaded the iso's for Red Hat 7.3 and wanted to burn them to CD so I can install the distro on my home PC. I've never burned iso's before, so this is new to me.

Re: [Wlug] Linux

by Setag Lib

Hi to you Andy too! Thank you for fast reply. I actually already got Microsoft Linux installed! It was very easy I am still having some questions though. I can't get on the internet, what is wrong? My Digital camera does not work either, why not? Also, now that we are such good friends, I would like to tell you about my late father who has recently died in Nigeria. If you are interested in helping my family get a chest of diamonds out of the country, I would be willing to make it worth your while. Thank you again! Setag P.S. This seemed a lot funnier shortly after the last wlug meeting. I guess it lost a bit when it got held up by the non-subscribed email thing. Of course if you still think Setag Lib (read it backwards) is real ... please send your bank account information so I can proceed with those diamonds.

Hi everybody, I have no problems with folks bringing old equipment to WLUG meetings for raffle, trade, give away, sale, or whatever. We've done it before and it has worked out just fine. My only request is that if you don't get rid of your stuff, you take it back with you. Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: [EXT] Who was that guy?

They're looking to hire a mechanical engineer where I work, and talking about how a lot of the best candidates have been from WPI. That got me thinking about one guy who'd been at several meetings, and graduated maybe 2 years ago, though I don't think he was an engineering major. He had a legendary appetite and I think he moved to Nashua. I'm pretty sure his name had 2 syllables and started with 'S'. I keep thinking "Salman", but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Information for Linux newbies?

by Kevin Harrington

As i mentioned at the meeting this past week I am going to be giving a seminar for linux newbies and would like to pull from people that know better then i do on what i should teach people. What i would like to know is: What are some things that you wish you had known as a newbie? Think back to your very first linux install and any short-cuts, tips, tricks, and gatcha's that would make peoples first experience easier. There is a lot of windows resentment after the slow trainwreck that is vista, so lets see if we can get a few new converts! P.S. one of the big concerns for a few people that i have talked to has been games, if anyone has a list of new-ish games that work or any tips specific to making the most recent generation work under linux, that would make things much easier ;)

Here I am begging again.

by Ken Jones

I have not been making the meetings. That does not mean my SUN ULTRA1 running Aurora Linux can no longer create 'interesting' problems. This time the second SUN ULTRA running Gentoo is in cahoots. I have a new SAMSUNG SyncMaster flat screen monitor. I have attached this monitor via a Belkin SUN adapter to my ULTRA1's. It does not work!! The monitor flashes a little square window saying something about "Not optimum mode". It feels that it has not been configured correctly. The buttons on the right of the monitor, which are there to set it up, also do not work with the SUN's is attached. The monitor works fine with PC type machinery. The Belkin worked fine with a regular old tube monitor. (I have not dug out the old monitor to check whether it still works. I suspect it does.) Anybody have any ideas?

Re: [Wlug] OpenWrt

I'm curious if anyone has any Mike> experience with OpenWrt? I used to run LEAF/bering from the Linux Router project, but it seemed to die after a while and I didn't care for using an old PC with CDROM/floppy as my firewall anymore. I ended up moving to m0n0wall (http://m0n0.ch) on a WRAP board with three ethernet ports, http://www.pcengines.ch and I've been very happy. Don't bother getting a wireless card, just get a seperate Linksys WRT54G (or something like that) box and hang it off it's own network port. This setup works really nicely, and has really low power/noise, which is what I was after. m0n0wall is based on FreeBSD I admit, but that didn't stop me... :] John

FiOS & PONs

by Chuck Anderson

As a followup to a discussion we had after the WLUG meeting, here are some good pages to read about how FiOS works. Verizon is using Passive Optical Networking, either BPON or GPON depending on the CO. The downstream side is shared, since by its very nature a PON's downstream direction is broadcast on a single wavelength--the light goes from the OLT to every customer's ONT on the PON "tree". For privacy each customer's downstream traffic is "encrypted" so only the intended ONT/customer can decrypt it. The upstream side is shared via TDMA since only one customer's ONT can trasmit at a time on the single upstream wavelength "up the tree" towards to root of the PON where the OLT lives...each ONT gets a "time slot" for upstream transmissions. There can be up to 32-128 customers shared on a single PON. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Line_Termination
