Some follow-up items for things mentioned at the meeting: PHP and PHP-nuke (in reference to HamLUG Website work: (PHP used to stand for Personal Home Page; later it stood for PHP--Hypertext Proprocessor)

[Once some of us get a bit more established with PHP-Nuke, it would make for a good meeting presentation or a workshop. Hmmm, if we are up to speed soon enough, maybe a demo for the TCF booth.] Ethereal - network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows. There motto is "Sniffing the glue that holds the Internet together."<g> Better and healthier than sniffing the chemical glues or sniffing hot glue guns. <g> http://www.ethereal.com/ The Web site offers links to binaries for different platforms and distros. You should have GTK+ and libcappacket capture package if you are going to compile Ethereal. You won't need them for the binaries per se but there may be other prerequisites for your system.
