RE: 1) CLUG <> ALUG transportation for the Cambridge non car types 2) RedHat 7.2 Update CD situation / Nasty Kernel security bugs
Folks
I've only seen one post about lift sharing arrangements (from Johnathon Fine). No answers so far seen by me on the list.
Can we use the CLUG list to get organized please?
One kind ALUG person came back to me by private email, but may not be able to offer a lift share in their car in both directions.
I plan to be at CLUG CB2 from approx 1145 onwards this Sunday.
Anyone coming in (by car) with the intention of moving on to ALUG ( and coming back to Cambridge afterwards?) And able to offer lift share space. There is myself, Doug and possibly Johnathon looking for a lift share on Sunday.
Posts to the CLUG list of folk with cars and vacant seat space, willing to offer lifts from/back to Cambridge would be appreciated.
2) REDHAT 7.2 Update CD Collection Work in Progress:
The RedHat 7.2 Update CD I did last week is being obsoleted as I post! Do be aware of a nasty VPN DoS issue with the current production UPDATED kernel! Also, an even nastier security hazard to the 2.2 series kernel affecting all kernels <= 2.2.18
The kernel security issues are not just RedHat specific.
See: https://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh72-errata.html
Downloading / collating / checking all the new KDE / Kernel / XFree updates is the biggest bandwidth burden. I won't be done with this until late Friday (_if_ the European mirrors pick up all the most recent changes overnight, which I doubt).
Fingers crossed - even with only a 50K dial-up, I'll have RedHat7.2 Update collection CDrs available by Sunday. Taking orders for any CLUG or ALUG folk that want me to burn them copies if I get done in time... Minimum cost: media replacement; tips to repay the effort spent on this exercise are entirely optional, even if I am skint!
