Actually, Debian sarge is probably a good choice as well. The
base packages are frozen and they are working on a new stable
release (of sarge) for the sometime this fall so the fact that
you are running testing shouldn't mean instability.
As with gentoo, I have a local mirror that you can use,
Hey everyone,
What will TSLUG's new official name be, now that the University says
no student organization can begin it's name with Truman State...?

Heh, how about TSLUG and it just not be an acronym? ;-)

This was brought up at yesterday's meeting, and while we bandied about
such names as !TSLUG and similar jokes, the final

Because there are a couple changes to make regarding *SLUG there is a
ballot coming up. You guys will have the chance to decide upon the new
name for TSLUG and we are making the election of the new president
easier that way too...
** some more feedback for the new TSLUG name would be cool.

I'm not necessarily making a suggestion (yet), but since we are changing
the name, is there signifigant opposition to getting rid of the Linux
name? Stallman wouldn't hate us anymore.
I mean, *LUG just sounds slow lazy and fat. All jokes aside, that's not

Hi, I'm not a voting member, but I think it would be a great idea to move
toward a name that mentions Free Software. I like KAFS because it suggests
caffein, which I've always associated with installing Linux.

I haven't posted in quite a while, but this looked interesting. I agree that it
might also be a good time to address the Linux part of the name since you have
to change it any way. I go to Iowa State now and the group here has decided to
be called AmesFUG, with FUG standing for Free Unix Group.
FSCK is a colossally good idea.

In fact, it's such a colossally good idea that Ross should get a free
T-shirt for suggesting it, even if it's not the winner.

I like the KAFS name and as much as we deal with free software, the
group also deals with commercial software at times. Why restrict the
group by the name. Look at the members. Most are into alternative
systems most of which are not Microsoft systems. Most use freely
