I almost forgot there was a HAMLUG meeting Monday,
February 5.
It kind of snuck up on me. Anyway here's an
agenda:

Main Presentation:
Don't have an official main presentation
scheduled
but... Linux Expo stories and business may
take
a good chunk of time and, if necessary,
Jerry and/or
Wayne can further expound and pontificate on
technical issues.
--------------------------------------------------------
We will set up a LAN at the meeting so bring a
computer
if you wish. Windows machines are welcome as we do
cross
platform magic (and learn about SAMBA). If you
have a
NIC you can join our LAN.
Bring ethernet hubs and power strips and cat-5
cables
and monitor and Keyboard and rodent. Conversation
will be
provided.
We will have a DHCP server running to speed the
LAN
setup and configuration
If you'd like help with an install or some vexing
linux
problem you can bring your machine to the meeting
and
get some help with it. Contact someone in advance
so
they are prepared to assist and plan to come early
or
stay late. We'd love to help. (Normal disclaimers
in
place. Make a backup. No guarantees - but there
are
some pretty sharp Linux folk at the meetings who
love
to help make things work.)
