Red Hat 9
by craig＠dubculture.co.nz 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

Red Hat 9 (shrike) was yesterday released to the FTP servers for Red Hat Network subscribers. Being that Linux users are an impatient lot, it was made available quickly through the new open source P2P system BitTorrent (see http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/). I have downloaded it and burnt it to 3 CDs. (No docs/SRPMs yet.) I've copied it for Greig McGill, and I'll give it to Matthias Dallmeier at lunchtime. Anyone who wants a copy _today_ is advised to hop onto #wlug on IRC and organise something with Matthias, who is looking after wider public distribution. Otherwise, posts to the list will probably quickly result in offers of copies. Next: Knoppix 3.2, which I haven't DLed because it changes almost daily! Side note: while some people may suggest that we should be supporting Red Hat Ltd. and not 'copying' the release that they have released earlier for paying customers, think of it this way: by downloading it P2P with BitTorrent, all the people who would have hammered the main site come a week from now will have just saved Red Hat Ltd. a lot of money in bandwidth charges. Side side note: BitTorrent wasn't nearly as fast a method for downloading as everyone made out on Slashdot!

Urgent committee meeting
by Daniel Lawson 24 Mar '03

Due to recent events, I am calling an urgent LUG committee meeting. Crawshaw School, 7:00 pm tommorrow (Wednesday). Myself, Jamie Curtis, Craig Box, Craig McKenna, Kim Shepherd, Perry Lorier, Gavin Denby, Greig McGill, Phil Murray, Burce Kingsbury. I would appreciate it if all of the committee turned up. Members are allowed to attend, however this is a meeting called specifically for committee business and while comments may be asked of those attended, non committee members are asked to not feel offended if they don't get to have their say. If transport is required it can be arranged. Contact me by email if you want a lift. Daniel

desknote
by Stephen Pearce 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Does anyone have advise or recommedations on a lpatop/notebook suitable for running linux? I have been looking at the Elite i-Buddie desknote pc ... a928,a929,a980 .. they come without a battery and use desktop components so are current hungry .. but price/performance seems v. impressive. The local agent seemed to only know about the a901 .. does anyone know a dealer doing the later models .. or could recommend a similar concept from another manufacturer .. or maybe just has some advise on conventional portables ... the choise is rather daunting Thanks Stephen g_and_s_pearce(a)xtra.co.nz

It's just with ~6000 pages it's going to take fair number of people to get through them all! Which is why I suggested it ought to be done in a week long push like your Add-a-Page-To-the-Wiki-a-Day one. > perhaps do it as you see pages :) Oh well, better get started then... %-| -- Glyn Webster ~ Simplicity himself. ~ glyn(a)wave.co.nz
