[Preston] April meeting

[Georgina]

Hi Guy and all

I wouldn't want to get in the way of a man and his beer! <smiles>  But I
don't have any ideas of a specific topic for demonstration.  However, I
wondered if you could have a workshop type session?  Without any guarantees,
well only to brake it! <giggles>

I've just built a computer and I can't build a kernel for it.  I've got
Fedora 8 and debian installed.  We could time the booting time between the
two distros and if we can crack the kernel issue, we can time that boot
time.  My problem is that the board has a Nvidia chipset.  I've never had an
issue with arch=i386 Via chipsets but this arch=AMD64 Nvidia is driving me
crazy.

Regards

Gena

Tomorrow is the 1st Tuesday of the month, and I'm afraid I've had no 
time to prepare a new topic for discussion!
If no-one has anything up their sleeve maybe we could just go to the 
Greyfriar for a few beers?
I've been pretty busy in the last few weeks, unfortunately...

Here are some links concerning things we discussed at the last meeting:-

Encrypting data with the device mapper and LUKS.
