The talks planned for this meeting are as follows :- 

***********

***********
Bruce Richardson: 
Overview of Openldap configuration. 
This will be a demonstration of how to create and look up a simple LDAP 
addressbook. 

***********
Steven Lau: 
User-Mode Linux is a safe and secure way of running Linux versions and 
Linux processes. Run buggy software, experiment with new Linux kernels or 
distributions, and poke around in the internals of Linux, all without 
risking your main Linux setup. User-Mode Linux gives you a virtual machine 
that may have more hardware and software virtual resources than your 
actual, physical computer. Disk storage for the virtual machine is entirely 
contained inside a single file on your physical machine. You can assign 
your virtual machine only the hardware access you want it to have. With 
properly limited access, nothing you do on the virtual machine can change 
or damage your real computer, or its software. From the network and user 
point of view there is no way to distinguish that it is a UML machine and 
transparently looks like another physical machine. 
The talk will cover: 
  
 What UML is.
 Where it can be used.
 How to set it up and install it.
 Installing Linux to a UML machine.
 How to run the UML server and access it. 

*****************************************

At the University we have access to plenty of machines to do installations 
on, as well as space for people to bring there own machines, should they 
have any unusual hardware.  The equipment you bring will need to be 
registered with security when you arrive - to help with this, please make a 
note of the serial numbers on your equipment before hand.
