Standard distro is hard to define. That would be my only comment. IS RH a standard? I think we'd all say yes, but that that include Fedora and/or CentOS? Standard or not, will anyone support Novell? :) Is Debian the standard or is *buntu? That's becoming a difficult question.
And the real kicker, is even if we say RH is the standard, does that mean with Gnome? That's the default. Is vi the standard, or vim, or nano, or emacs, or Microsoft word? If I do Scalix, do I do it with postfix or sendmail? Sendmail is the standard for Scalix, but not for almost any distro anymore. (Both work fine). "Standard Distro" is just going to be VERY difficult to define.

I think it might be worthwhile as a team project - to be able to learn in a small team and to deliver in a bigger environment. In my mind the following components will be required: time knowledge and the willingness to share that knowledge ability to transfer knowledge an interesting topic I know many of you have many aspects required but very few have them all -- however as a group, I am sure that we could pull something like this off. Purpose of the whole exercise, build a legacy -- something that could be run by someone who is willing without all the skills that is willing to share and move Clug forward. Stage 1 -- anyone else thinks this might be a good idea and have a bit of time and effort to donate Stage 2 -- identification of a topic that might be of interest to a group Stage 3 -- get together to design a mini-workshop Stage 4 -- document and delivery of that knowledge to a small group Stage 5 -- file away so that someone can repeat the exercise in a years time for the next wave of Linux adopters I know this will be a sore point with some -- I insist on the use of a standard distro. I know we all have our favourites but too have a high level of success and good participation, I think this is something that we need to adopt in the beginning. The time for experimentation is after we got it working and we get more experts involved. The past of workshop would also be that much quicker. Just my 2 pesos. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
