Just thought I would let anyone who does not listen to the linux
outlaws podcast we got mentioned on it by Dan who turned up at the
last meeting. http://linuxoutlaws.com/podcast/ogg/45 this is a link to
the shownotes as well as the .ogg version of the show.

Aye was good fun. Usually is a laugh. You should consider recording(?) the
meetings Dave and getting them on the site - which is nice by the way,
what's powering it?

have fun

Hey, sorry I was a bit slow replying to this. I may record something at a
future LUG meet you never know ;) Our podcast site is all powered by Drupal,
which is open source of course. I love Drupal. The theme was designed by my
co presenter, I'm not great with CSS, I'm out of practice :)

Michael, his friend and I are off to the nuclear bunker/cold war museum
round Winsford way on Saturday if anyone is interested. Having been before I
can say it is most excellent place if anyone is up for it.

It's an informal thing and we are going this Saturday afternoon if anyone is
interested. Not really a LUG related item, but I figured a few of you may
like it. It has all the real computer kit there, as well as the war
operation rooms and re enactment of getting hit by a nuke (Really fries your
thinking muscle)

If anyone is interested, let us know.

Regards

Stuart

Some of you may remember that a little while ago I posted about having
old computer parts to get rid of. We now have the first batch of
stuff, not many computers in this batch (we have been replacing
screens first) but there are about 5-7 pentium 3 machines. There are
also 20-30 15/17in CRT's along with a couple of bigger ones (19-21in).
There are also as many keyboards as you can carry.
If you want any or all of this stuff please let me know as soon as
possible as I will be operating on a first come first served basis.

I've got a mate of mine who needs a PC.  He has no cash, but no real desire for a SOTA machine either.  He was hoping to run Ubuntu (after I showed him it on my PC).

If there's anything you've got that's up for grabs that'll do him, can you let me know as well as how I can arrange getting it.

I live in Ellesmere Port, and my mate in Crewe (I see him every other Sunday).


Cheers


Paul

Hello Joe,

I could take the PIIIs and the 17"+ monitors for an
educational project in Blacon [1] - if they're still
available?

Thanks,

 - Richard

[1] Or, if I hear back about some other machines I'm
    waiting for, I have two more projects lined up
    and waiting ;o)

if you want just a single PC you might be better off waiting for the
next batch as there may well be more PC's and they will probably be
slightly better spec.

to the Ellesmere Port campus)  if you E-mail me directly I will
arrange details.

Hi Guys, got feisty installed to the SD card of my eeepc (and XP on the ssd).

Only issue is that I have no ethernet or wifi, so I can't tweek it much.

any help?

I want to fix the problem without installing another distro - had enough trouble getting one on in the first place.

Hmm interesting that ethernet doesn't work. That is meant to work perfectly 
well. The wireless is easily fixed by recompiling drivers with a small patch 
applied. There is even an automated script that will customise ubuntu for 
eeepcs. These of course require that you have some way of getting said patch 
or script onto the machine.......

funny thing is that they both work under xp and the network connections seems to just have a modem option.

Ha HA!

Problem solved.  Got seriously fed up waiting for replies from about a half dozen forums over help with this one, so I decided that maybe the problem with the eeePC and Hardy would be easier to fix.

Now eeePC has XP on the 2g ssd and Hardy on the 4g Class 6 SDHC.

Does anyone know a quick way to remove all the crap that gets bundled with Ubuntu that I don't need.  Some suff can't be removed with Add-remove progs and I'm reluctant to do it with the package manager in case something I need gets removed by accident.

I'm looking to keep full functionality, but remove additional extras like ooo database and display software while keeping the spreadsheet and word processor.

Try removing stuff with Synaptic, and not the GUI to apt-get.

I can remove stuff, but I'm cautious about exactly what I can get away with removing.  There are some progs that I cant uninstall using the Add / Remove software due to other progs needing them.  I could use synaptic or rm to get rid, but I'm cautious about breaking anything.

Nice looking machine, but it feels Oh-so-Microsoft in it's methods.  Before you all shout me down, think about it.

They tell you the OS your machine uses, that they will manage all security and upgrades and they will look after your PC for you.  They tell you that you can store your files securely with them online.

Anyone else a little uncomfortable about giving a firm that much control?

I look for a PC now, I want hardware.  Nothing else.  I install and manage my own machines.  I'm sure you're all the same.

The green angle is good, but what about the power needed for the monitor?  How does that machine compare both in green and ability to any of the low cost mini laptops like the eeePC 4G?

I like green, but I prefer performance, and at 400Mhz for a machine with 3 cores???  What are they - Aldi CPU?

Sorry.  Not convinced with this one, Les.

I can see your point Paul.  A lot of people are moving towards 'cloud'
computing now so I can see a lot more of these appearing.  There are several
linux distros that are aiming for the same thing so it will be interesting
to see how popular they get.

So does a machine using it have 2 OSs - one to replace the bios and another of our choice?  Or does it just have the one that comes hardwired in?

Can I take their motherboard, build a PC and run Ubuntu (or Fedora - trialing it on my spare PC!)?  Or am I tied in to their OS?

from what I understand  this is just their name for splashtop. So you
have one OS held in flash type memory on the motherboard which boots
really quickly, and then you can connect a HDD and install and use an
OS just as you would on any other board.

Maybe.  I might be getting hold of a PC for a mate who wants to run ubuntu, but not sure of the spec yet and if it's powerful enough to run hardy.  I've got gutsy and feisty discs but nothing before that.  He might need one until he can upgrade, so if you don't mind, I'll take one of each.

Subject: [Fsfe-uk] Digital Freedom in Education & Youth - North West ::
August Meeting
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:11:55 +0100

DFEY-NW[1] (Digital Freedom in Education & Youth - North West), the 
North West of England's first group focusing on young people and issues 
of freedom in the digital world is looking forward to it's first meeting 
EVER in August.

---------------------
| What  is  DFEY-NW |
---------------------

DFEY-NW is a group formed in response from a growing need in the 
Northwest of England for a Group to encourage and promote young people's 
involvement with the free software community by creating a social space 
to make it more comfortable for young people to get involved with GLUGs 
and FSUGs.

-----------
| Meeting |
-----------

To get things started, it has been suggested that the first meeting 
should be used to work out:
1) what projects[2] we wish to undertake
2) what we can do to get more free software into education
3) what we should do in future meetings

It has been suggested that we should work closely with local GLUGs and 
FSUGs and similar groups, to help young people be given the help and 
respect needed to encourage them into the community.

--------
| When |
--------

To find out what the best date is for those interested to meet, a poll 
has been created:

   http://is.gd/17IS

Please fill it in and indicate which dates are best for you.

---------
| Where |
---------

What do you think? Where is convenient for you? What do you suggest?

My suggestion would be somewhere in Manchester, but I would be very 
interested about suggestions of venues from other locations.

Venues in Manchester:

I'm happy to contact the MDDA[3] who have been very welcoming to 
Manchester Free Software Group in the past, though they like people to 
book sooner rather than later.

Many of the other popular venues (such as Fab Cafe, Rain Bar, The 
Britons Protection, the Water House) are pubs/bars which some people may 
feel uncomfortable or have problems being in, though the Corner House 
may be an option which is not likely to cause problems.

Anyone have any better ideas? Feedback is crucial here. :)

-----------
| Contact |

We have a Mailing list:
   http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dfey-nw-discuss

Hi folks,

I'm afraid I can't make it this time, I took some time off around LugRadio
Live and now I still have some catching up to do (sigh). I'll be there next
month though barring any major disasters. Have a good night, hope it goes
well :)

See ya,

Dan

Hi

Hope you're feeling better soon Paul and you had fun Dan, shame I
couldn't make it there.
See you both next month.

Hi



Hope you're feeling better soon Paul and you had fun Dan, shame I

couldn't make it there.

See you both next month.

I think they serve food until quite late there, is reasonable pub grub so
does the job!

See you next month

 I don't know if anyone remembers the conversation about rifftrax (new
MST3K) a month or two ago.

Have managed to "acquire" rifftrax Batman & Robin - the worst movie ever
according to just about anyone who has seen it.

Anyone interrested?
