Matthew,
I also applaud your decision to rise to the occasion.
I agree w. Dave that Saturdays are not a desirable time to meet (other fun
things to do instead, I find the the Eugene Lug weekly Thursday evening
meetings actually fit my schedule better, although I live here in
Corvallis).
I have had involvement w. Unix (unfortunately, somewhat intermittent lately)
since 1984. My involvement w. Linux is something I am seeking to increase.
I would really appreciate any presentation on topics that are specific to
Linux and not a carry over from Unix. One example I was discussing w. an
associate recently was the "modprobe" command, which I encountered during a
RH6.1 install (in order to get a local printer on the parallel port to work,
a "show stopper" in my opinion).
If a suitable non-Saturday meeting time/place can be arranged, I will
certainly become a more active MV Lug member
Rodney
P.S. Can someone change the mail message so that when I reply, it goes to
the Lug mailing list instead of only the person who submitted the original
message. I know the Eugene Lug messages are set up this way.
