I want to reduce the amount of stuff in my apartment, so I have free
stuff to give away:
1) Sun Sparc IPX
2) Sun monitor (16" I think ... But it's huge)
3) Full tower PC case ... No power supply
4) Compaq 286 Laptop ... It works!
5) Super Nintendo (controllers, games, etc)
6) Pentium 233 + motherboard
I'll bring all of it to the meeting, if you want something email me. If
lots of people want any of those items, I'll ask Andy to raffle them
off.

Hi everybody,
This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on
Wednesday, January 16th, 2002, on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA.
For this meeting, please note that we will be in a **DIFFERENT LOCATION**.
The meeting will be in Perreault Hall in a building called Fuller Labs
(yes, still on the WPI campus). To get directions, click the yellow "WLUG
meetings" picture on the top of the WLUG website, and then click
"directions". It is in the building next to the Gordon Library.
Taking place at this meeting will be the greatly anticipated "Linux
Distribution Bakeoff". Representing several different distributions will
be:
Doug Waud - SuSE 7.2
Tim Keller - Mandrake 8.1
Adam Keck - Debian (Stable)
This meeting is being held to discuss distribution specific features. The
aforementioned folks profess some level of expertise with their particular
distribution and will extol us with the virtues of same. I'm sure it'll
be a fun and informative meeting. (Should I have been in sales instead of
engineering?! Nah, nobody would buy anything from a long haired guy in a
suit...).
At this meeting we will also discuss the upcoming WLUG Install Fest, to be
held on Saturday, February 9th, 2002 at Stratus Computer in Maynard, MA.
This will be our third annual install fest at this location, and each has
been well attended in the past by both installees and WLUG members. If
you are interested in attending, please send e-mail to Tim Keller
(tim.keller(a)stratus.com). Lurkers and voyeurs are also welcome to watch
and learn. Be sure to tell your non-Linux friends! Lunch will be served,
and refreshments will be available. Safety mitts will be made available
to prevent inadvertant plug pulling of powered computers (darn, Doug's not
coming). There will also be a few items available for raffle at the
install fest.
I suspect that I can scrounge up a few items for raffle at the WLUG
meeting as well. After the meeting, we'll make our monthly pilgrimage to
the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. All are welcome!

HI Mark,
If you would be interested in giving this presentation to a WLUG meeting,
I think it would be great! Feel free to drop me an e-mail and we can
discuss it further if you wish.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

I actually just gave a talk on Linux Security Basics at work that I'd be
willing to give to WLUG.
Mark, would you like to cordinate and do a joint talk?

Mark,
Have you thought about talking to Andy (our founder) about possibly giving
us the same talk at our meeting this Thursday?
I'd be very interested in hearing your talk, but Fridays are a busy day for
me. Plus you'd have a good captive audience.
Tim.

I thought the attached talk announcement might be of interest to some
on this list. Basically, some dude broke into my Linux box. At the
next CS colloq, I'm going to talk about it and about system security
in general. You are welcome to attend!

WLUG,
I have some stuff that is looking for a new home. If you're interested in
it, I can bring it to the January WLUG meeting or arrange shipping... :)
Here's what I've got:
o For whoever is interested:
Cabletron MRX-2 10Base-T hub
This beast has 12 10Mb ports, but port 6 is bad.
Gravis Ultrasound Max sound card
This is a 16-bit card. I cannot find the CD for it.
VESA Local Bus motherboard
Includes a P90 CPU
Has 2 VLB slots, 4 16-bit slots, 2 8-bit slots.
RAM (I forget if this has 32MB or 64MB)
Diamond Viper VLB video card
VLB I/O card
This should go with the motherboard, since the motherboard
dates back to just before the I/O stuff was built-in.
o For sale or trade:
DSL Modem
WESTELL ADSL modem, model # 36R515.
Has power cable, Ethernet cable, and instructions.
o What I am looking for:
one PCMCIA ethernet network interface. 10Mb minimum, but I
certainly wouldn't turn down a 10/100... :)
The stuff I have is available as-is.
The motherboard, video, sound card and I/O card are known-working as of
March 2001.
The DSL modem is something my mother bought, decided she didn't want, so
she passed it to me. I can't get DSL where I live, so I thought maybe
someone else could use it. I have no way of knowing if it works.
If anyone is interested in this stuff, I could bring it to a WLUG
meeting.
Best regards,
