# Fear and Loathing and Mailing Lists with Evan Leibovitch


In today's environment of spambots, blacklists, European privacy laws and 
Canadian anti-spam regulations, sending out bulk email these days is not for 
the timid.

This presentation will describe one organization's search for the best way to 
do this. In the process it will identify some of the tools available - both 
open source and cloud based - and offer advice and warnings to others looking 
to use this method of communications.

[GTALUG-Announce] Meeting Tomorrow at 7:30pm with Christopher Browne and Scott Sullivan

[Myles Braithwaite]

# Terminal Multiplexers and PXE Boot

## Screen, Tmux, Byobu, the Secret Terminal Brains!!!
### Christopher Browne

GNU Screen has been lurking around since the 1980s, as a kind of
"tiling window manager atop curses".

BSD folk spawned an analogue called tmux in 2009, offering both
additions and removals of functionality.

Byobu offers a harmonization, and (arguably) better user experience.

We'll look at some usages, use cases, and see how frequently Byobu
Hollywood crashes.

## Good Bye Boot Media! (or, don't copy that boot floopy)
### Scott Sullivan

A tour of how network boot/install can save you ever having to burn a
DVDs or USB drive.
