Current LUG Meeting

Topic: Software Alternatives, and Virtual Box
Date/Time: Tuesday, Match 19th @6:00pm
Location: 204 Evans Hall, 2nd Floor Conference Room

Ever get tired of paying for software, even if it is discounted, for your school work? Yeah, me too. So this next meeting Garret will be presenting alternative software for you to use to get your school work done while we eat some pizza. After that we'll dive in Virtual Box and begin an interactive tutorial of setting up Virtual Machines. Remember to bring a network cable if you can, so that you can plug into the switch and follow along!

LUG IRC Server

LUG@UD now is hosting it's own IRC server. The idea of this is to encourage members to talk and communicate more openly. Connection information is as follows:

Looking for Presenters

Would you like to come up and give a talk about a Linux subject that you love? Want some public speaking experience? Want a resume booster? Email me and we'll schedule a time. Some interesting meeting topics that I'd like to see include: Using GNU Screen, BIND and DNS, the Ruby language (or Ruby on Rails), GNU autotools, Subversion and why it's really nice for any project, Linux firewalls with IPtables, setting up your own postfix server, LaTeX - for all your homework and reports.

LUG Apparel

Interested in getting your hands on some Linux t-shirts, mugs, or something else? Have an idea for a design or something you want? Add your thoughts and comments to LUG Apparel.

FTP Mirror is Operational

The server is at HTTP FTP. We're also offering LUG mirror statistics so you can watch CPU usage and network bandwidth. Currently, we mirror debian, gentoo, slackware, sunfreeware, and ubuntu. Use us as your preferred mirror!
