The Cajun Clickers Computer Club now has a Linux SIG (Special Interest Group). They have generously donated 4 PCs, a hub, Internet connectivity, a couple of motherboards and some space for a small Linux lab. The CCCC also has a store room full of donated hardware that could also be used. The CCCC will be moving to a new office in July and we will have even more space for a lab then. We need help of all kinds and levels of expertise to get it going. We have started a web page to describe the project: http://www.clickers.org/sigs/linux/.
Specifically, we need help for the following tasks: 1. Configure networking on the Linux server. There are currently problems with the DHCP client on it. 2. OR: configure a WebRamp ISDN router to provide either a public IP address (if its available) or configure the router to port forward to a private static IP for the server. 3. Make three 3'+ patch cables.4. Configure SSH on the Linux server for secure remote connectivity. 5. Fix the 3 other boxes so they are bootable. This should be easy, as there is extra hardware available. 6. Configure one extra box as a database server. 7. Figure out the best mix of server services across both boxes. 8. Setup mail server. 9. Setup mailing list server (leaning towards Mailman). 10. Setup Apache httpd. 11. Setup Icecast streaming media server for rebroadcast of CCCC radio show. 12. Setup Jabber server (IM server) 13. Collaborate with planning of projects. See http://www.clickers.org/sigs/linux/ for list of CCCC Linux SIG projects. We especially need people who will just jump in and make things happen. I will be at the CCCC office every Saturday that I can spare. If you are unable to make it on Saturdays, the office can be opened on other days. Contact me to coordinate. I suggest we use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the primary means of group communication. You can sign up for this mailing list at: groups.yahoo.com/group/cccclinuxsig/. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the BR area (or even beyond, once we get ssh working!) to actively participate in Linux advocacy. There are a number of people in the CCCC who are interested in Linux and want to learn more. The next CCCC Linux SIG meeting is on Monday, 4/15/02 at 6pm at the CCCC office. See the www.clickers.org for the address and directions. Thanks, John Hebert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
