Next RHEL to be completely Free?
by Craig Box 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

"Taroon (the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux) ships with version 2.1 of the open source Eclipse Development Environment. Eclipse requires a Java virtual machine to run, but Taroon doesn't ship with one." http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1228480,00.asp While the article is short on information, it inspires me with hope that due to Red Hat Inc's new position on 'only OSS software in their distribution' that the entirety of RHEL 3 will fall under the GPL and it will be copyable for those who want the stable platform but don't want commercial support.

ride to the next meeting available from Ham East
by S Swami 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

Hi, Glyn and I will be taking a car from Hamilton East to Monday's meeting. So if anyone would like a lift there and/or back, just drop one of us an email. Note that given the terrain that our ramblings span, it is unlikely that we will be taking the shortest path. Indeed, I cannot even guarantee that the route will be acylic -or even directed for that matter- ;) Sid.

Open Office and VGA Monitors
by Roger 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I have Red Hat 8 on a machine, which has an old VGA monitor. Is it possible to configure Open Office to work with such an old monitor? At present the text and icons of Open Office take up the majority of the screen, so it is effectively unusable. The other applications do not suffer from the same severe problem. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Roger

by Craig Box 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

As per the decision at the last WLUG society committee meeting, subsequent committee meetings will be not be held alongside WLUG presentation meetings, but instead will be held the Thursday prior. I remind everyone there is a WLUG-Committee list that society members are welcome to join but cannot post to. (See http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug-committee) If anyone has any items they wish to have bought before the WLUG committee, please email them to me before Wednesday afternoon; they will be assembled into an agenda for the meeting at that point. Craig WLUG Secretary
