I believe I can be a valuable asset to the club by being on the committee. I have served on the board of Holroyd City Lions Club, and was involved with the Australian Air League in my early teens. I believe these can bring new skills to the committee. Through these organisations I have run various actives and events. From Art Show to Public School Debates. Although I am only new to FOSS in terms of use, as I have just celebrated 12 months of constant use of Linux. I fully embrace Free and Open Source software ideals and philosophies. I have assisted SLUG in the last 12 months at various activities and will continue to do so. I am not a developer or programmer but more of an advocate and user. I hope to delve more into these areas as time goes on. I am active member of the Mandriva Community and assist them when I can. From running install fests. I now put my nomination before you. Seconded. Rodger has been really helpful at events over the past year, including last year's Education Expo and Software Freedom Day. He also organised and ran a Mandriva installfest, and is helping me out with preparations for this year's Education Expo. -- Organisations and individuals that store their data in the open format avoid being locked in to a single software vendor, leaving them free to switch software if their current vendor goes out-of-business, raises its prices, changes its software, or alters its licensing terms. - International Standards Organisation, ISO OpenDocument Format announcement, 2006-05-08 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Fedora 7 Ethernet Issues
Hello Sluggers Happy Easter! I am having problems getting my Ethernet Card to work with Fedora 7. FC7 is dual booting with Windows XP, both installed on separate drives Using the standard default partition it installed just fine, it is dualbooting no problem. Fedora does not recognise the Ethernet Card. It knows the eth0 is their but asks me to check the connection... I have tested this as it works fine with XP using DHCP. It is strange as I have set up dual boot boxes before using FC7 and XP with No problem Any suggestions on how to fix this? Best Regards and Thanks David -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] SLUG January meeting video (Microsoft QA) is online
Thanks for putting the January meeting online on so promptly. For me, the material has sparked a few interesting conversations with friends in the industry. I've noticed how MS folk tout their openness as though they have solved the interoperability problem in one fowl swoop. I wouldn't want to cause offence to the great people who work there, but in reality, they have only offered a very small window into Microsoft technology under the Open Specification Promise (OSP). Other companies such as Sun Microsystems have been put into a position that they must make some of their largest projects open source in order to have a hope of market share. We live in very interesting times indeed... Thanks, Robbie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

First, find out what ethernet card you have, then google for something like fedora *card model*, Look for eth related messages in the output of the command `dmesg` There might be some clues there that you can google. The command `lspci` might tell you the card model, if dmesg doesn't. Let us know how you go. If you like, pastebin the output of dmesg and lspci if you get lost. -- Michael Chesterton http://chesterton.id.au/blog/ http://barrang.com.au/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
