* I don't own any windows, other than ME, that came on the Packardbell, and on the masterdisc's, which means i cant install it without installing aload of other stuff

So, i'll be back on my computer (fubar) and usin linux again within the week

A couple of the other LUGs have had/or due to have screenings at their meetings, wouldn't mind borrowing a copy or better still have a public viewing at one of our meetings if anyone can get hold of it. For anyone who hasn't a clue what I am talking about see below or have a look at the website http://www.revolution-os.com This is the run down from the website -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the Open Source movement. On June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches." Microsoft fears GNU/Linux, and rightly so. GNU/Linux and the Open Source & Free Software movements arguably represent the greatest threat to Microsoft's way of life. Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS tracks down the key movers and shakers behind Linux, and finds out how and why Linux became such a potent threat. REVOLUTION OS features interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda. To view the trailer or the first eight minutes go to the ifilm website for REVOLUTION OS. Companies such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Ogilvy & Mather, OSDN, and Dreamworks Animation have rented REVOLUTON OS for private theatrical screenings. It has also screened in numerous film festivals including South By Southwest Film Festival, the Atlanta Film & Video Festival, Boston Film Festival, and Denver International Film Festival. REVOLUTION OS won Best Documentary at both the Savannah Film & Video Festival and the Kudzu Film Festival. REVOLUTION OS is available in the 35 mm motion picture format and runs 85 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From sderby at mailman.lug.org.uk Tue Aug 26 19:59:01 2003 From: sderby at mailman.lug.org.uk (Mike Hemstock) Date: Tue Aug 26 18:59:01 2003 Subject: [Sderby] IRC meeting Message-ID: <200308261959.23035.hemstock@tiscali.co.uk> Hi folks, For anyone who's thrown by Bank Holidays, there is an IRC meeting at 21:00 tonight!

The idea being to wire people together onto a giant wireless LAN. Offering 11Mbs connections to those services available on the LAN and gateways to the internet. A few friends and I have set upon the idea of setting up a Community Wireless LAN here in Derby and are appealing to the better nature of the people of SDerby LUG for assistance in setting this up. The idea is very much in the earliy stages at the moment, but what we need is some innovative people to help get if off the ground. If anyone is interested I'm willing to give a presentation on the idea at the next LUG meeting on Sunday, but as a basic guide the initial plan is as follows. Firstly we need a number of people in and around Derby to act as nodes that local people can access. Those nodes that are close enought together can be linked. Eventually as we get more and more nodes we will have a network which should span most of Derby. We will need: * Volenteers to setup nodes * Locations (as high as possible) * Kit (old PCs to use as nodes * Old compact flash cards (to be used instead of HDDs) * Wireless kit * People who know a lot about radio propergation * A webmaster * Anything I've missed * etc Initially, please subscribe to the Derby Community Wireless LAN mailing list if you are interested. http://www.derbywireless.net/mailman/listinfo Also, there is a very nice prime node location in the centre of Derby with excellent line of site, known as the DRI nurses accomodation (yes, that bleedin' high block of flats!) If anyone knows anyone who can give the nod, please let me know! Many thanks, Mike.

It's basically an old PC running Debian with the HostAP wireless drivers which allows the 802.11b card in the PC to act as an access point so people can connect to it with client adaptors. The wireless card is connected to a 12db Omni antenna so this should give good coverage over parts of Alvaston, Allenton and Chaddesden - possibly even further to Shelton Lock and Chellaston - but I'm not sure yet as I haven't done much testing so far. There is no broadband connection on the node currently but if there is interest shown in getting a wireless network setup around Derby then connecting to broadband from this node is a possibility. If anyone wants any info about connecting to the node just drop me an e-mail.

so theoretically, everyone could download at the total bandwidth for that wi-fi? (to the point of bottleneck)

Yeah its possible. Everyone would have to run a routing protocol like
OSPF, and clients with a broadband connection would advertise a default
route. Also probably have to use something like equal cost multipath
routing to balance load over the default routes. I don’t think it would
be possible to load balance on a per packet basis, so if you are

I have played with an old version os SuSE on an PowerMac 840AV with accelerator card and it was just like using SuSE on a PC. At the time you had to boot a minimum MACOS and then boot linux from a helper program. Hopefully this has now improved as it must have been about 3 years ago when I tried it. The most mentioned PPC version of Linux is "Yellow Dog" it seems to be most highly recommended. Dave -- David Bottrill
