Great! I look forward to the autumn. Mark's ideas seem good to me.
Perhaps Mark and I can try to get a list of what is happening when, try
to locate a volunteer to lead on each subject, and let you all have it?
Hope you do not mind being volunteered Mark!? It is you location after
all!!
May I make a plea that whatever we do is aimed at both those of you who
are skilled, and folk like me who are not and want to learn?
I may or may not be able to answer my emails over the next while, but if
I can I will keep in contact as necessary

1. Joomla CMS - I have nearly installed it!
We use Joomla quite a lot here so I have some experience of it. (I don't
personally have much to do with it but I'll try and drag our young lad
Ben along for a meeting as he knows it pretty well).
2. Dual boot Installing SUSE 10.1 ?? or even Ubuntu 6.06 on a Win
machine
To widen this up I'd like to understand the nuts and bolts of the boot
procedure (this ties in with your point 5); from where the BIOS looks
for boot information (and in what order) and what happens from there. I
know bits and pieces about it but not enough to feel confident.
3. Installing, setting up and running a mail server.
This is something I'd like too, preferably Qmail related since that's
what I seem to come up against most often. In particular its the
"running" bit I'm interested in: how to manage the mail queue
(particularly when something goes wrong), how to manage the flow of
email through virus and spam checking, etc.
4. Installing, setting up and running something like Squid / Dans'
Guardian
There's been some good articles in Linux Format about this in the past
couple of months. This month there's talk about an alternative content
filter aimed at protecting kids, but I don't have the mag to hand to
tell you what it was. Sounds much simpler than DG to configure though.
5. Explanation of the Linux boot sequence and how to exploit that
MJR had a talk on this, which he went through some months back; it would
be good to hear that again.
I'd also like to include stuff like InitNG (which re-orders the boot
sequence and runs things in parallel to speed it up).
