some session about monitoring the health of your network and internet connection, indeed. We could include SNORT (a package that monitors for intruders on your network, including malware infections such as spambots) and some other bandwidth monitor.
The people who are suggesting stuff, are also the people who (more or less) know how this stuff works. How can we reach out and ask to the sysadmins in uganda that are battling to keep their winblows networks up and running what they think is usefull to know? Should we start a small website, and run a poll? (i'd be happy to offer a drupal installation if someone points the domain linux.or.ug to us). Should we move part of this discussion to i-network? Should we print flyers? rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Wednesday 08 April 2009 08:00:33 Daniel Bwente wrote: > Installing MRTG would also be a nice topic. > > On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 12:08 AM, sanga collins <[email protected]>wrote: > > installing and configuring nagios can be a useful topic > > > > On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Simon Vass <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Ok, so we have had a go ahead from EACOSS, as to the venue for the meet. > >> Now onto topics. > >> > >> Some that have been suggested include > >> > >> Installing a Linux Firewall + Proxy Server* > >> Installing a Linux Desktop* > >> Installing an apt-cacher, > >> Installing e-box*, > >> Configuring apache > >> > >> ......? > >> > >> I will be bringing Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop and Alternate as it will be the > >> release day for 9.04.
