Re: [Wlug] Using Facebook as a Website

As I said at the Wed. meeting, Facebook must die. I don't think Facebook would exclude me, because I have already excluded it. I do think the fact that nobody, except Chuck, remembered the FB page that is already there, tells you all you need to know about how useful it is. I am happy with the mailing list; I have never used the web page, though I did look at it a couple of times just to see that it was there, but if somebody else wants to maintain other web pages, I have no objection. The web is made of pages I never look at. It's not a problem. -- Keith

Greetings

Hello, As a recent subscriber to the user group I was hoping to make my first user group gathering this evening. I was writing to confirm that the meeting scheduled this evening was still a go, and the information on the website containing time and location (room next to Morgan Hall dinning center) was correct.

Re: [Wlug] Don't forget! I didn't forget!!

Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> writes: > We have a lot to cover, so we'll be starting right at 7! I really wanted to be there. Last Saturday (5 days ago) I fell and twisted my ankle. It's been sore, but I limped to the coffee shop yesterday, I figured I could limp to the WLUG meeting. But first I had a 4pm routine doctor appointment, I showed him my foot, he said you should get an X-ray. No problem, just to be sure, they can do it in an hour. The X-ray techniciane said: "I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you anything official, but you should go to the emergency room. I'll send the X-rays there." So the bottom line is I got home about 9:30 with a cast on my broken foot. I think I'll stay here. See you next time. -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] comparison of virtualization technologies

by Adam Keck

Hello All, I recently tried both the free VMWare GSX server and the quasi-free virtualbox with gui. I ended with GSX for two reasons. o Virtualbox kernel panics under the Debian FAI install kernel after about 10 minutes of package installs. Not sure why it dies, but since I want to use VMs to test new installations to keep machines from breeding in my office, this was a show-stopper for me. o Setting up bridged networking and the tap interfaces to share the host connection happens outside the virtual application. Setting them up I found to be a pain, even though I eventually got it working. The GSX install seems to do this for you which saved a lot of time. -Adam Mike Leo wrote: > > I wasn't at the meeting, but anytime virtualization I have to mention > > virtualbox.com....works better than VMWare Workstation plus its free! > > Correction: > http://www.virtualbox.org/ > > >

Re: [Wlug] JOB - Senior Operations Engineer - Boston, MA

> From: "Tal Cohen" <wlug(a)cohen123.com> > > What are the guidelines for posting > a relevant job opening to this group? Don't be a lamer. I am tempted to leave it there. True Lamers will never know who they are, but here are some guides to How To Be A Lamer. 1. Never come to a meeting. 2. Subscribe to the list for the sole purpose of posting your advertisement. 3. Fail the Turing Test by using cliches to indicate that your message was auto-generated by a computer or marketing manager. 4. Do not write any introductory remarks that might show your message is intended for the WLUG list, rather than every list in known space. There are, of course, many other possible lame actions. Note that I have no actual power over any list messages other than my own, and so my opinions are worthless except in so far as others agree with them. -- Keith

MegaMeeting

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, USDataCenters is holding a meeting in Marlboro, MA on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 for a number of Boston area computer user groups. Most of these groups are Windows related, but not all. I have signed up to represent WLUG. GNHLUG, BLU, and (I think) MWBLUG will also be in attendance. If you want more information, or perhaps you'd like to attend as well, check out this website: http://www.BostonUserGroups.com/MegaMeeting/Default.htm Preregistration is required so please sign up if you plan to attend. I tried to get a table just for WLUG, but they have run out of tables. The Boston Linux and Unix User Group was kind enough to allow us to share some space with them (many thanks to Jerry Feldman). I'll be seeking out the local Kinkos for printing up some flyers this weekend. If anybody does plan to go, please drop me an e-mail just to let me know. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Linux Sparc Boxes - freebie and selling

by john＠stoffel.org

Guys, I've got some Sparc Classics with RH 6.1 pre-installed. Mostly they have 1-2gb disks with 32-64mb of RAM, builtin ethernet, SCSI, video. I've also got keyboards and mice to go with each one. I'd like to get rid of these from the garage finally. So I'll be raffling off one tonight at the meeting, and I'll bring others for those who want to pay $40 one. I think I have 8 for sale, maybe more, maybe less. I'll give you money back if it doesn't work out of the box. These suckers make nice home servers, and it's easy to addon extra storage, etc. They all worked just fine when booted and installed over the network not too long ago. Sorry for the late notice, and if I have any left over afterwards, I'll bring em back next time as well. Please send requests to 'john(a)stoffel.org'. Thanks, John
