Greetings all! This month's announcement comes from Eric, as he's the one giving the presentation, so I'll let him talk now. See you on the 11th!! -Dustin -- Founder & President The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://www.nblug.org/ dustin(a)nblug.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We'll be having our usual January meeting on the 11th at the usual time and place. The topic will be basic networking and basic network setup under Linux (concentrating on RedHat 6.1). This is actually the same basic presentation as was given at the September meeting, but due to popular demand (and lack of enough announcment of that meeting) we're bringing back this presentation. To get the most out of this presentation, you should probably have at least a week of experience running RedHat 6.1 and have at least heard terms like "TCP/IP", "DNS", "IP Address" and "PPP" even if you're not quite clear on what they mean. This presentation is actually the first in a three part series on Linux networking. The second presentation will build on the first and cover issues on how to share your internet connection between multiple computers (IP Masquerading, primarily). The third presentation is planned to cover file and print sharing, but might be broken into two separate presentations due to the potentially large amount of material to cover. These will be interspersed amongst other presentations. (So, theoretically, the second one would be in March or April) Suggestions for future topics are welcome, as always. The meeting is at O'Reilly in Sebastopol at 7:30pm. Remember to get there before 7:30, since once the meeting has started we will no longer be giving out tickets for the door prize drawing.
