[Wylug-discuss] Themes for future introductory talks

[Dixon, Richard]

Hi,

Sadly I missed the all of the introductory talks, but would appreciate a theme for half-baked users of Linux like myself.  I am currently using a HD install of Knoppix (Debian, Open Office, KDE etc) and have tried to use this a base for more adventurous things like MySQL.  Sadly, I could not get the damn RPM file to load, but had no time to follow up the issues, since I have no official endorsement within the NHS to use Linux and this is largely a lunchtime hobby, using salvaged kit.

I suppose a beginners tweaks theme for Distro-users like me would be good, covering things like: dependencies and kernel upgrades etc.

Greetings All,

I understand the last meeting was a success. Thanks to Aaron and Dave, and Mark for "room service" :-)

So that's the last of the Introductory series of talks. So what did people think - was it worth doing? Should we do a "series" again? If so on what linking themes, and aimed at who? Ideas to

  wylug-discuss at wylug.org.uk

or to the pub after monday's meeting.

This coming monday (14th July) we have talks on "Power Shell Usage: 'Bash' Tips & Tricks" by smylers and "Creating a Bootable CD" by Owen Le Blanc. See http://www.wylug.org.uk/ for more details.

A reminder that the August 11th meeting is the informal summer holiday meeting, in the Victoria Pub. I'm hoping to get some food laid on, but it's not organised yet. I'm sure some commercial outfit said they'd spansor this but I forget who said that - mail me please.

Also a couple of people have suggested we have a showing of "Revolution OS" film ( http://www.revolution-os.com/ ) so I plan to organise that for sometime after the start of the University term in October. Mark Spink has had an idea for a different WYLUG evening, and we will be discussing that down at the Victoria pub after the meeting - all welcome.

cheers
Jim
