Linux Demo
I will be giving a Linux demonstration for the
Rockland County PC Users group at the Palisades
Center Mall, Raso Community Room 4th floor,
W. Nyack, NY. on Tuesday, 4/13/99.
General meetings are open to the
public so visitors are welcome.
I will have a dual boot win98/linux and a win95
machine networked together to demonstrate
how a Linux machine can be a drop-in replacement
for an NT server. I will also have two projectors
so everyone can see the monitor output.
You can find an outline of my talk at:
www.detel.com/linuxdemo/ .
The linux machine will also have KDE and (at least)
Wordperfect 8.
Giveaways will include GNU RH5.2 (thanks to
www.lsl.com), Linux Journal, and probably a retail
boxed set to raffle off.
I am not sure about public transportation.
For more information contact me or,
Sandy Coulter, President
Rockland PC Users Group
Rockland County, NY
914-446-2827
I will also be at the Westchester PC Users Group in
White Plains, NY on Thursday, 4/8/99.

Hi,
This is the first public release of "ftpgrab". It may be obtained from
ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/ftpgrab-0.0.3a.tar.gz
ftpgrab is a file mirroring utility, not dissimilar to Mirror. However its
primary feature is the ability to parse version numbers out of file name
strings. It is also aimed at smaller sites that will want to mirror
specific files rather than bulk copy remote directories.
This makes is possible to e.g. always have the latest linux kernel tarball
on your site, but without the hit of keeping older versions. ftpgrab is
capable of detecting that "linux-2.2.2.tar.gz" on the remote site is newer
than "linux-2.2.1.tar.gz" on the local disk, so it will download the new
version then delete the old local one.
Please consider ftpgrab to be ALPHA software. Take this to mean that lots
of planned features aren't yet implemented. Also, only myself has used it
so there will be bugs. However if you are brave enough to try it, expect
me to help and/or fix bugs as your reward
ftpgrab is GPL licence. You will probably have better luck on a glibc
distribution with egcs as your c++ compiler.
Cheers
Chris
