Message-ID: <AANLkTim4fCfStx6MQmuKDO4G89ByEbbShiQmYuRUgFot@mail.gmail.com>

Well, not quite. I don't know if anybody noticed, but it looks like there is
a jailbreak for apple tv 2. We where speaking about it at the LUG a few
months ago. It came out a few weeks ago. Ok, so ATV2 doesn't have local
storage, but it can do nfs, samba, pnp etc etc over its wired or wireless
interfaces.

Best thing of all, it's only £99 and it only uses 5 Watts thanks to its A4
MIPS CPU.  The jailbreak is called seasonpass

Will report back tomorrow after visiting Mr Jobs' house of tech porn :)

Hi all,

The Linux event we're doing for the BCS is happening next week at Chester
Uni. As I've mentioned before, I'd really like to have people bring along
their laptops running Linux to demo the different desktop environments or
any useful apps you use. If you can come to the event and can bring a laptop
please let me know so I can judge numbers.

I'm hoping it will be a good event as we have a good speaker!

Les

Dear All

19.00 for 19.30 - next Wednesday - 16/03/2011.


City of Chester University - Binks building - 8 on the map: -

http://www.chester.ac.uk/sites/files/chester/ApplicantDayBookletChesterCampusSat2011_pp16-16.pdf

This is the modern building very close to the central parking area.

Letting us know of your prior intention to attend would be appreciated
though
not essential.
------

Linux, a Unix derivative, is well known as a server operating system. It is
the
most popular choice for Internet servers across the world, critical server
systems and is run on over 90% of the top 500 fastest super computers in the
world. At the other end, Linux can be found embedded in many of the day to
day
appliances we use, including eBook readers, mobile phones, TVs and even
cars.

In between these two great success stories, Linux has been evolving as a
real
competitor in the world of desktop computing. Microsoft Windows is a clear
market leader, but there is a growing demand for usable, more secure
operating
systems.

This talk will look at how Linux has evolved as a desktop operating system
and
will give several demonstrations of the look and feel provided by the latest
distributions. It will show how you can use a fast, secure and completely
customisable operating system for free!

Thanks for the kind words Les, I hope the speaker can some up with something
good as well. I'm working on it! :)

I'll forward this to Liverpool LUG as well, I presume that's ok? Could be a
few more people with Linux machines to demo.

Hope to see some of you there, see ya,

Dan

Hi,

I will attend this. I know I own a Mac, but I am installing and using a 
Linux VM all day, everyday for use in work. If this is something that 
you would be interested in as well, I will attend. This could 
potentially be a decent demo of Linux in a commercial environment, being 
used to administrate a network and its services and users from a client 
point of view, as opposed to the usual server view people have of Linux.

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Mike,

That's fine, I think virtualisation is always a good thing to show people.
Maybe it's a way to get people trying it out using Virtual Box without
having to start messing with their hard disks.

I have an ASUS901 and have been struggling (and failing) to get a proper Linux 
OS loaded onto it.  If there is any chance of meeting someone with a suitable 
OS on a USB stick (I've heard Mint is a good one for the ASUS) who could help 
me, that would be great.

Hey Mark.

Unfortunately I can't make that one, but I can tell you that I loaded Linux Mint LXDE (a lightweight version of Mint) on my mum's eeepc 900 last year and had great success with it.  I installed it via a flash drive.

Perhaps someone could bring a stick with a copy?

Cheers, and good luck


Paul

Not a great deal I'm afraid apart from at least some of their SANs use ZFS
under the hood. I've done my fair share of SAN investigations at all price
ranges (as has Stuart), so if you fancy a chat about the options I'm happy
to pop over and see you.

Hi,

Just a few words from me. TBH Never heard of the

The major thing with buying SAN is that you are putting all your eggs in one
basket. You want dual everything as a minimum ie, controller, psu, NIC.

The support is also super important. Suppose you lost your array, would this
company give you a 4 hr on site response ? You pay for the service. This is
where HP/Hitachi/Dell/EMC win. What about software support for it?

You also need to look at your storage requirements. Those boxes Coraid do
don't seem to allow storage tiers. Ie you get fast 10/15K SAS drives for
your DBs and then slow big n cheap SATA for file access. This isn't
essential, but it allows you cost/speed flexibility in your storage design.
Will you ever want LUN replication (DR scenario) or dedupe ?

Also, have you looked at your data growth projections. If you are writing it
down over 3 or 5 years, it needs to last that long.  Can you add additional
storage trays ? If you want I can put you in touch with people who can get
you very very keen pricing on HP or HDS (HDS are a bit pricey even though
they are awesome bits of kit)

We can discuss on Wednesday, if your going.

David,

I have just spoken to one of our SAN engineers and he is very helpful and
has offered to help you create your specs, requirements
and configs and talk through providers at right price range, if your
interested. Will be next week though

Let me know

 Cheers,

Hi Paul,

If memory serves, we've spoken about this issue before.  I've been 
trying to plan a trip to Ellesmere Port, but other things kept getting in the 
way.  However, someone else has said they'd be bringing a Linux-on-a-Stick next 
Wed, so finger's crossed.

Mark

Cool.  I'm glad you're finally getting it sorted.  Pity I can't make it so we could finally meet.  My wife runs Rainbows and Girl Guides on a Wednesday, so that night is a no-no.

Cheers for the update

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone in the LUG has decent video recording equipment? I
thought that it could be nice to record the event on Wednesday. Just a
thought!

Hopefully see some of you Wednesday.

I can likely borrow a Sony 1080p video recorder from work, but sadly I 
might not be able to attend the event as I've got no form of transport 
at the minute.

I'll let you know.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to remind you that this event is happening tomorrow evening at
Chester Uni. It's in the same building we've met in before, plenty of
parking available.

It looks like we have Ubuntu and Slackware systems available for demo, if
anyone has a Fedora box or any system running KDE that would be really good.
I know Dan has a collection of demos for the talk but the more the better!

See you tomorrow.

Les

Dear All

19.00 for 19.30 - next Wednesday - 16/03/2011.


City of Chester University - Binks building - 8 on the map: -

http://www.chester.ac.uk/sites/files/chester/ApplicantDayBookletChesterCampusSat2011_pp16-16.pdf


This is the modern building very close to the central parking area.

Letting us know of your prior intention to attend would be appreciated
though
not essential.

Regards, Paul M, Secretary, Chester & North Wales, BCS. 07903 489905.


Linux, a Unix derivative, is well known as a server operating system. It is
the
most popular choice for Internet servers across the world, critical server
systems and is run on over 90% of the top 500 fastest super computers in the
world. At the other end, Linux can be found embedded in many of the day to
day
appliances we use, including eBook readers, mobile phones, TVs and even
cars.

In between these two great success stories, Linux has been evolving as a
real
competitor in the world of desktop computing. Microsoft Windows is a clear
market leader, but there is a growing demand for usable, more secure
operating
systems.

This talk will look at how Linux has evolved as a desktop operating system
and
will give several demonstrations of the look and feel provided by the latest
distributions. It will show how you can use a fast, secure and completely
customisable operating system for free!

Speaker Profile

Dan Lynch is a broadcaster, journalist and web developer with a passion for
Linux and Open Source software; first encountering Linux while studying for
a
Computer Science degree at Chester University (then Chester College) in late
2001.

He has co-hosted the weekly Linux Outlaws podcast to a large audience for
the
last 3 years, meeting and interviewing many of the biggest names in the Open
Source world and attending regular industry events. He also co-hosts FLOSS
Weekly on the TWIT network, develops web sites with Drupal (an Open Source
Content Management System) and has written for many Linux publications and
websites. In addition, Dan organised a large International Free Software
event
called Oggcamp10 in Liverpool in 2010.

I'll install Fedora in a VM with KDE for tonight. In full-screen mode, 
you won't be able to tell the difference :P

That's great, I'm going to see if I can install Xubuntu on something today -
unless anyone else is bringing a system running it

Hi all,

The next Chester LUG meet is this Thursday from 7pm at the Bear and Billet.
The good news is we have the top room back, so we'll have plenty of space!

See you Thursday.

Hi Guys,

I won't be able to turn up unless someone can fly me in from Frankfurt,
Germany? :-)

Have a good night.

Mike.

I hope to be there, too, bearing my ASUS 901.  So, if someone has a version of 
Linux on a USB stick, and be willing to install it onto my machine, that would 
be great.

If you can arrange for a plane to be available, I'll have a go at flying 
it, but you need to get me a manual to read first to find out how to do 
it.  Roger.

P.S.  And a cheapo way to get to Frankfurt, though the chance to see if 
I can drive a plane would be an incentive I suppose.

PPS.  The Crilly Quad special is still purring along quietly with 
anything I throw at it.

Be a man! No need for a manual. Just browse the source code and glance 
at the header files and you should be able to figure it out.

Sebastian

P.S. - Hi all - I'm new around here. Decided to join after getting down 
to Chester for the BCS meet.

Discussion of flying planes may get us on some government watch list, those
who aren't on one already that is hehe :)

I'm hoping I can make this but it's going to be difficult. I have some stuff
to do in Liverpool on Thursday night. If I can hot tail it from here early
enough I'll try to stop in.

Have a great night!

Dan

I'm glad to hear the PC is still going well. I moved onto a MacBook Pro
about a year ago; 8GB of DDR3, C2D 2.24GHz CPU and a 500GB HDD. It's my new
work horse at home and in work.

If you go to RAF Woodvale, you can ask someone there to fly you - I'm sure
one of the 13/yo cadets would love to give it a try :P

Afternoon all --


Apparently it's spring, so I'm coming out of hibernation... the words
"Apple" and "hacked" are merely an added incentive :-)


Cheers, see you later
