Mark Wolfe and Tracy Reed will be giving a presentation on making
your life as a system admin easier. Server issues are not a problem with
automated deployment tools. Be back up and running from disaster in
minutes. Never use a CD to load sofware again, replicate multiple
servers that do the same task. Keep track of all your changes over
time. Learn to manage the life cycle of your servers using some
of the
following tools:
Cfengine
dhcpd
PXElinux
Kickstart
mrepo
apache
subversion

So, maybe Jim would like to do a short 15 minutes on some beginners
topic. If you would, let me know and I'll add it to the agenda and the
event page for the meeting. In the future we can switch between
several volunteers to do the short topics and then every quarter or
so, maybe at least half the meeting should be about beginner's topics.
