Website changes...
by Andrew Savory 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi all, Coupla changes afoot. The web pages are now hosted at UEA to let us do horrible things with perl, php and databases etc. At the moment requests are redirected from www.anglian.org.uk, until the DNS catches up with us. Some links may not like this very much, but it should straighten out soon enough. New feature: the website's "ALUG related links" now takes you to a dynamic links page; anyone can add to it, just do a submission at: http://139.222.129.17/links.shtml (Beware - this is misbehaving occasionally, so if you see a Server Error, please be polite and ignore it!) Think that's it... Andrew. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Consultant | Email: a.savory at uea.ac.uk IT and Computing Services | URL: http://www.uea.ac.uk/ University of East Anglia | All views are my own - Norwich, NR4 7TJ, UK | who else would want them? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Handy hints number one
by Mark J Ray 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Just found the following today and thought some of you might find them useful: Compiling your own kernel? Already downloaded the sources for an older version in the same series (eg compiling 2.2.5 but already have 2.2.2). What you should do is patch your kernel tree. See http://linuxpower.org/display_item.phtml?id=101 Installing perl modules? Try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and let perl take care of downloading, compiling and installing dependencies. (I found that one while installing EP - which seems similar to PHP.) -- Mark.

Mailing list fixed..
by alug＠stu.uea.ac.uk 13 Apr '99

13 Apr '99

* From: "Martyn Drake" <martyn(a)drake.org.uk> Just to let everybody know that the new anglian(a)lists.lug.org.uk mailing list problem has now been resolved. As have the MX records for anglian.lug.org.uk and a few other odds and ends. If Mark Ray could either pass me a list of current subscribers to this list, I will ensure that everyone is currently subscribed to the new list. Otherwise to simply subscribe, send a message to majordomo(a)lists.lug.org.uk with "subscribe anglian" (without quotes) in the body of the message. I am the list moderator for anglian(a)lists.lug.org.uk, so any complaints, flames or otherwise should be addressed to me. Just a recap that that list is for discussion. I'm just wondering if it's worth asking lug.org.uk for an anglian-announce list as well.. M.

Stealing members...

I've been quite impressed with www.cam-lug.org ;) Seriously, there is no reason why we should detract from the LUGs which already exist in the area. It was my perception that Cambridge is the only place definitely in our area to consistently support a LUG, and that seems to be of the "a few people go down the pub" variety. Regrettably, we clash with one of their meetings, but with them holding meetings every weekend, it was going to be difficult not to. We cover a wide area, so that we can hopefully reach some sort of "critical mass" can be reached more quickly. We already seem well on the road to having a few meetings organised. And as Linux grows, hopefully we will too, but that's not the end of the story. I quite expect, that as time goes by, the larger towns and cities in East Anglia may form LUGs of their own. I would hope that we can work together, have joint meetings and so on, but you have to realise that in a mainly rural area such as this, we are never going to have 100% coverage of these "metropolitan" LUGs. I can't really see King's Lynn, where I live, supporting a LUG in the next few years. So for many people, ALUG will still be the most appropriate LUG. Finally, I hope we will be a different type of LUG, a more co-operative one. Anyone who wants to help can, as we're trying to keep the centralisation of power to a minimum. When the last two links on the website go active, any member will be able to link pages in (eh, Mr Savory? I hope that was what you were planning ;) ) and I hope everyone will have something to say. Also, I hope our events can be a bit larger scale than most of the metropolitan LUGs... -- Mark.
