MANLug meetings for November 2001 and January 2002.

17 November 2001, 14:00, usual place.  (For more information, see
our website: http://www.manlug.man.ac.uk, under 'How to find us'.)
Reminder: Please bring a 'photo ID' to show the porters if you are
asked.

     Tony Arnold (MCC)
     CYGWIN - A UNIX Environment for Windows

CYGWIN provides a UNIX like environment for Windows users on nearly all
flavours of the Windows operating system. Tony Arnold will give an
overview of this system describing what it is, an overview of the
packages that are available for CYGWIN, why anyone would want to use
it and will finish with an online demonstration of some of its
features. More recently the Xfree86 system has been ported to CYGWIN
and time permitting a short demo of this will also be given
culminating in a demo of a particular package that is truly
remarkable!

Tony Arnold has a degree in Computer Science from the University of
Manchester and spent some years as a system programmer on PDP-11 and
VAX systems, has been a system manager of OpenVMS clusters and has
also spent some time doing graphics application development on both
Unix based systems and OpenVMS systems. He is currently deputy to the
head of the communications, operations and systems (COS) division of
Manchester Computing.  The hardest thing he has had to do recently is
to sacrifice technical work for more managerial work!


     The Red Hat Certification Exam
     Robert Morris

Robert has recently taken (and passed) the RHCE.  He would like
to say a few words about it and answer (legitimate) questions.


December 2001

We don't usually have a December meeting.  Sometimes Ted Harding
or others would organise a Manlug December meal.  Would anyone
like to volunteer to do this?


19 January 2002, 14:00, usual place.  (For more information, see
our website: http://www.manlug.man.ac.uk, under 'How to find us'.)

I haven't got a commitment for any more talks yet, but there have
been some offers.  The only concrete one is from Dave Harrigan,
who is using Linux at the company he works for.  He's using
CVS and a development environment called Extreme Programming on
Red Hat and Debian boxes.

Any other offers or ideas will be accepted gratefully!
