[Alug]East Anglia Update
by Tony Dietrich 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

A couple of weeks ago, I promised to look for possible locations for a meet in the East of the area. I'm afraid I have to admit that due to some rather exciting developments in my business, I've not been able to take the time to fully investigate the possibilities. In fact, I may not have the time to do much for several weeks. I'm happy to continue to try and find the time to locate a suitable place and organise a meet. But is anyone else want to take over because of the delay, I'm also happy to stand aside. Things should hopefully get a bit better in 3-4 weeks for me, since I'll have a few extra staff by then to take on more of the remote support. Until then I'm doing about 1000k a week and falling into bed exhausted 7 nights a week ;-( Incidentally, if anyone on here is currently at a loose end, and is a skilled network admin who can handle a mixture of Linux and Windows networks, drop me a line. It seems that I may need someone like that soon. You'd need to be willing to travel a lot :p Maturity, experience and the ability to work independently would count a LOT. As would some experience dealing with dificult customers :p -- Tony Dietrich <td(a)transoft.demon.co.uk> Transoft Computer Consultants

It's written in a rather amateurish way. Particularly in regards to how it flushes iptables rules without even warning the user.

[Alug]A warning !! (not Linux related)
by Wayne Stallwood 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

Not Linux or ALUG related, but a warning neverless. If you are offered the following equipment please contact myself or Suffolk Police directly. A financial reward will be offered for the recovery of this equipment and/or information resulting of the successful arrest and prosecution of the individual/s involved. The equipment in question is as following HP NX9005 Laptop (with or without Targus Carrying case) Serial numbers as follows (even if scrubbed off these can be found internally/in the packaging/in the documentation and possibly I think in the Bios settings page.) CNF 3251PL3 CNF 3251PLG CNF 3251PKT CNF 3251PP2 This equipment was obtained from myself in what is appearing to be an act of Forgery, Deception and Fraud. This is a matter the CID are now looking into so I am unable to comment too much regarding the details of this. But please if you (or anyone you know) are offered these laptops let me know. Sorry to post such a somber non Linux related message to the list, but I figure as Computer Folk you may come across these laptops being sold off. Regards Wayne

[Alug]LinITX

Does anybody know anything about Stowmarket based Linitx.com? A Linux company that does mini-ITX stuff. -- Tarquin Mills RUNG (RISC OS Users, Norfolk Group)

I ran a tivo in the states, and I can tell you that it's a wonderful gadget to have. There is a project called mythtv out there now that does all that and more now, well worth checking out: http://www.mythtv.org/ I'd like to put one of these together in a mini ITX and just use it with my LCD screen to watch telly etc on. Another really sexy way to do this is to locate a cheap dvd player that has an IDE DVD drive in it.. easier said than done perhaps.. but you take out the guts of the dvd player, hook up the ITX board inside and leave the IDE DVD drive in place, looks rather nifty. I even know of folks who've re-connected the LEDs to make everything look like a normal player! I also recall that some of these mini or micro ITX boards have a bios that will play a dvd or music cd/mp3 cd-rom right after POST if it's detected, I thought that was a very cool feature too DB

However it remained on the system for only several hours as the missus declared that she couldn't print any labels and that the fonts were too small in Mozilla (and she was a bit too impatient to allow me to fix it for her!). Given time she will come round to the power of Linux.. If anybody wants the set once I've finally finished with them, I'd be happy to forward it on. The only thing is that you don't get any official support for them since there's no registration number on disk set. > Currently I don't have the facilities to do copies of the DVD's so if > you want to install it from DVD you are going to have to either borrow > them (I'll keep a note of who has them and we can just pass them > round) or someone in the group with a DVD burner is going to have to > offer their services. I'm happy to copy the DVDs for anybody that wants it. Cost for P&P and the DVDs only (which equates to something along the lines of 99p per DVD and 60p P&P - let's call it 2.60).

[Alug]Meeting report - Norwich sunday 20th July
by Syd Hancock 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

Ten people attended the sunday afternoon meeting at RBLH in Norwich - MJR, Colin Hards, Ashley Howes, Paul Corner, Adam Bower, Kirsty Naylor, BenE, Syd Hancock, Brett Parker and James Taylor. In usual ALUG fashion the meeting was understated but constructive - Xandros was repaired, library books distributed for reading and review, donated items of equipment and CDs distributed, future meeting venues discussed (Ely is next for a pub crawl, sorry I mean speculative exploratory visit), Mark did something to his laptop which no-one understood (possibly including Mark) and home-made cakes eaten amid discussions, arguements and banter on diverse topics ranging from sourceforge eveloper management or bandwidth costs to bits falling off cars and the usual My Distro Roolz OK :-) Overall a very satisfying afternoon. ------------------------------------- Some advance notices (all will be announced separately later): 1. Next Norwich evening meeting: second thursday of August i.e 14th August at the Forum. (If anyone knows of another free suitable evening venue please let me know). 2. Next Norwich sunday meeting proposed for the last w/e in September - full details later once settled. 3. If anyone has access to room booking at UEA please contact me off-list (don't worry about having to 'organise' anything - we just need someone who can book a room :-) Syd
