I had held meeting at Denny's on Nugget Ave and East McCarran. It is free but they encouraged us to buy at least drinks if not dinners. While we were there, some of us bought the dinners and some of us bought the drinks. I never used their projector simply because my friend has the projector. It is very convenient and it is off I-80 at E. McCarran.

McCarran has a private dining room for groups. I don't know if they charge or not (maybe a minimum food order?), but they *do* have a projector. I won't swear to it, but I think that CompUSA may also make their meeting room available for non-profits at no charge.

You might want to > check that out. So far we have: Walden's BrewHouse Denny's N. McCarran CompUSA Ideally, I'd rather have the meetings held at a local business or government office, because we are the Reno Linux Users Group, and we want to support the Reno community. This isn't a hard-fast rule, but if we make a choice I want it to try to keep certain ideas in mind. -- Mark C.

I have learned the basics of getting apache up and running, and configured. My server is online right now, at http://jeffshippen.homelinux.com. I joined RLUG about 2 weeks ago. I would consider myself a GNU/Linux newbie, and plan on attending meetings as often as I can. I am a commandline and GUI user, I consider both to be very powerful/useful. I wish to learn as much as I can from RLUG, but only learning would be selfish, so I hope to contribute too. Thanks Jeff Shippen 1 I still don't "get" Linux. If it's any consolation, I don't "get" OSX yet either, and I've owned nearly every Mac ever made, including a Lisa. I'm missing something fundamental - don't know what, I just don't grok it. Packages, builds, root - there's a blank spot where convergence should be. But every post to RLUG helps - and someday... 1 Started as an applied math computer science major working with big iron - way back when....primary data input was via punched paper cards - started into the pc side of things about 1986, currently manage/administer small 6 node network in my office. One unit is a linux/M$ machine with VMWare. Primary home machine is a dual boot with a wireless network for 2 laptops and another desktop. I wish there were more mainstream apps for Linux -accounting (Quickbooks) is one example. Would like to see a short term class on the GIMP. 1 This survery RULES!!! -------------- next part -------------- Skipped content of type multipart/related ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 19:40:22 -0800 From: "C.

I looked at some of them. A couple of people said they would come no matter what. One indicated they would like more on installing the various distros. Don't remember any other specific comments. We had a small turnout. I thought Tim's presentation was excellent and Todd did his usual good job of preparation. Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv.
