I've got an OrangePi3 LTS SBC to demo the JetKVM on at the meeting. Hopefully we can share the screen and you can read it. JetKVM really is fun and useful. John

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.

A nice map of campus (with buildings unlabeled) is covered by a pop up, which tells you when Harrington was built and what ball teams like it. If you click it will change to something almost, but not entirely, unlike directions to somewhere random. >From the picture, I think it is the building just on the north side of the quad. Is that right? I expect to be there. I will sit on the brass goat and refuse to leave until someone tells me where Harrington is. Actually it may be easier than that. I think there is a map on a signpost near the fountain which is actually useful if you want to go somewhere. Or ask info in the student center. -- Keith

Hi Everybody, I am wondering about this meeting since I was unable to attend. How well was it attended? What topics were covered? Did you eat plenty of pizza afterwards? Inquiring mind wants to know! :-) My business trip to Austin, TX was successful IMHO. I met a couple of people who I had not seen in some time, and I met in person a few people with whom I have been working only via telephone and email. It was nice to be able to put a face to those communications. Also, I enjoyed various carnivorous delights like steak and Texas style BBQ. Finally, I did see the "famous" bats on the Congress St. bridge - millions of them fly out each night to feast on mosquitoes and such.

Next meeting - topics?

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, I am wondering what we should discuss at our next meeting - any ideas? I have been playing with diskless clients lately. There are a couple of ways to do this: a) load and run a Knoppix CD with no hard drive b) LTSP - Linux Terminal Server Project If people are interested, I could give a talk / demo of some basic LTSP stuff. I've got it working between a lame P90 and my laptop server. Let me know if you have other ideas, or if this idea sounds like something interesting to you. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
