Re: [Wlug] Question about WLUG BBQ

by Wesley Allen

Andy, Did you guys set up WEP? I know it's "encryption-lite" but right now I've only my wlan setup with mac address locking only because I can't get wep to work at all. I actually had less trouble setting up wireless in linux than in windows! Speaking of "target practice," did any of you see that iMAC ad on e-reviews? The guy was at a target range, discussing the first iMAC and after saying how each feature was "not enough" he aimed and shot at it! Having dealt with first revision iMACS, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!

Re: [Wlug] Topics for next meeting

by Richard Klein

I use Plex and would love to learn more about it, and about similar things, such as Kodi. I'm also interested in Bitcoin, though, mostly, I want a way to recover the Bitcoin wallet I created (and lost all info for) a couple years ago. However, I realized at the time of the last meeting, that Thursday nights are also open shop night at Worcester Earn-a-bike, which creates a conflict for me.

Re: [Wlug] another vote for a future meeting topic

by Mike Leo

how far into the gentoo install can you get? Is the last step the long process? I can volunteer a fast machine if we could get most of the way thru at the meeting and I can just kill it at the end. Or is every step along the way very time consuming? We could have several pc's setup installing all at once so people could see a knoppix install or a SUse install or a gentoo all at once --- Ryan Caron <rcaron(a)WPI.EDU> wrote: > No, the install isn't the easiest thing to someone > not familar with it, > but the Gentoo documentation is quite good.
