I have an old toshiba satellite ( 2595cdt ) which runs nicely for me on SuSE 7.2. I have had it since 0ct/99. No problems.

Does anyone > have experience with a Toshiba laptop t I ran xapm and got a display which said I had 15% charge so I assume the bios was readable. The 15% probably means little since the computer has been sitting in its case inactive since the last WLUG meeting. doug PS while drafting this email the % came up to 21 so it seems the xapm is working as expected.

Re: [Wlug] Talk for April...

Thanks Tim, I think an offical ZFS talk would be great. I'll update the website and IRC channel.

Re: [Wlug] Upcoming stuff for WLUG!

I now have a "KOSSSEL" Delta 3D printer and can bring it to a meeting to show off and demonstrate. I've just started to get things "dialed in" to get really good, consistent prints out of it.

Re: CAD /3D printing

by Tim Keller

As multi extruder printers and core XY printers with tool changers become more prevalent, this might be the case. Out the box 3mf can carry much more data about colors, materials, etc. Out of the box I believe that STL doesn't support that, but it's also just a text file, so I can't see why you couldn't extend the format. I just looked at Cura and Kisslicer and they both support the 3MF format. I could imagine some future where you've got a file that would fully support building a complex product that might include additive, subtractive, trace drawing, pick and place and firmware load. That would be cool. Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Anyone running Linux on Pegasos?

by Jared Greenwald

I think I remember seeing something about Gentoo supporting the Genesi hardware platform... There is some connection between the two - I think Genesi is a supporter or Gentoo and that they also will be selling PPC boxes with Gentoo pre-installed.

Jason and I ended up riding the Lowell train at midnight to get home. Jason exited at N. Billerica, and the train sat idle for about 5 minutes. I wondered why. Suddenly, the conductor and 2 Billerica police officers boarded the train and walked past me to the rear of the car. One "gentleman" was escorted off of the train for offenses unknown to me. As the train left the station, I saw 3 police cars in the parking lot. The train proceeded to the Lowell station without further incident.

Re: [Wlug] Information for Linux newbies?

by Mike Leo

Where the heck is everything? http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html has a nice chart I think one thing that frustrates people is their relative path to everything...you can't cd /mike unless you're already in /home for instance. Even from the GUI's, Windows people will start at C:\ and move around from there. ----- Original Message ---- From: Kevin Harrington <mad.hephaestus(a)gmail.com> To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 12:01:05 AM Subject: [Wlug] Information for Linux newbies? 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 ;) _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
