ALUG2?
by Mark J Ray 06 May '99

06 May '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk ALUG1 was quite a success for an initial meeting, I think we can all agree. But, as discussion here and Tats's page about the meeting (which I hope we can link into the main site *hint*) says, I think we need to do something a bit more "organised" at the start of each meeting, a sort of headline talk. So, I suggest that for the next meeting we have one or more of the following: "Linux Games: The Final Barrier to the Mainstream?" which could demo the Q3 test and any other freebies that we can get and point at a few of the companies now producing games for Linux and some of the more interesting Free games (xblast remains a favourite of mine). Would also tie in nicely with some networked games later on. "Interoperability: Emulation and Viewers" which could demo vmware on a machine actually able to run it at a decent speed, VNC, Bochs and maybe a few micro emulators. "Replacing the Desktop" Ken Thompson's interview with Computer (http://computer.org/computer/thompson.htm) hints that he believes that overthrowing any established computer system involves thousands of man-years to replace the code. Linux appears to be approaching it. What apps do we have to replace the MS Office et al that we are used to? Other questions: Where? UEA is fairly settled, I think, but Union House appears not to have a room of a suitable size with a network connection. Is there another room available to us? When? Some of us think before the end of UEA's term so we can get a few undergrads to come along and take a look before they go out preaching the gospel of MS. Some think that we should wait 6-8 weeks between meetings to save us travelling too much, avoid saturation and stealing the smaller LUGs' thunder too much. Finally, anyone got a venue in Cambs/South Lincs that we can use for ALUG3? And I've moved the list archive (230-odd messages in the first month) to start a new section. I'll probably do that after each meeting. -- Mark.

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Guys, Check out http://www.vmware.com - it is a very good site which offers the ability to run virtually any x86-based operating system within Linux. We're currently testing it here with Windows 98 and by all accounts things appear to be going quite well (we're still installing it, but that's just impressed me that it's getting that far!). There are some very crazy things that this thing can do ;) I bloody love Linux ;) Regards, M.

Most of my clients invest a considerable amount of time and money in testing them OFF the corporate network. One large one, even now, is still testing SP4... Be VERY careful... Cheers, Laurie.
