I remembered I didn't post anything about last Thursday meeting.
I counted 23 but it could have been more.
There were four computers being worked on. I think a couple of the
machines got a Storm Linux install.
There was a discussion again about the battle bots. I say let's do it?
What would we need to make our bot? I've never watched the show so I have
no idea what they look like, let alone what you would use. If anyone's
interested say so.
I wasn't able to stay long but anyone wanting to add something they
remember can do so.
I think a reoccuring item has been a beuwolf cluster. Beuwolf
cluster,beuwolf cluster...... I know we can do it. We will need hardware
of course. I'm not sure how many computers you actually need to get one
of these puppies up and running. Could someone respond to what we would
need to get a small beuwolf cluster up and running? Do we need
486's or pentiums? Do they need a hard drive? How large if they do? How
much memory? Do they need a floppy? I know they do need a nic card.
Does it use a hub? If we know what we need, anyone on the list can say
what they are willing to commit to bringing or donating to the user group.
We can call it beuwolf stone soup. I'm sure Stan would love to show off
a beuwolf cluster and possibly use it. Wow are you excited... I am.
I can see an article in the paper about us. I know everyone would
love to do it. I know Seth, Mike, Randolph are a given but I can see
Woody, Matthew, Bob and everyone else wanting to give it a go. I want to
see the power and say. "Yeah, I helped build a beuwolf cluster." Am I
ranting..
Let's do it... We will need to know the details. So will someone let us
know what we need and if your willing to donate something.
I'll see you Thursday (tomorrow).
Tim
