Ummm, Thse are probably a better topics for one of the workshop meetings, where the interested folks can sit around one computer with a knowledgeable soul doing a bit of 'tuition' so to speak.
I suspect if one of our more 'geek' members got up and talked about DNS servers and constructing zone files we'd have 90% of the folks in the hall snoring in the first five minutes... I suppose we could jazz it up with doing dhcp based dynamic dns, but it's still only going to interest a small percentage of the folks who come along. The 'presentation' based meetings (every second month) really need to be of a more general nature I feel. Possbily even light on the knowledge transfer and heavy on the glitz & flashing lights. :-). At a stretch a demo of network installing a current distro would be OK, but still quite dry and boring for the majority of the club who I suspect have one PC, with a dial-up modem on it. Maybe some GUI based demos, Jeremy B and his theme modification exploits.. Show the rest of us how to create themes for our desktops.. Pretty pictures etc are always a crowd pleaser :-). My 2c worth.. Cheers, Chris H.
