The meeting takes place on the irc server irc.alug.org.uk in the #alug channel. Most IRC clients should allow you to get there with the commands "/server irc.alug.org.uk" and "/join #alug". Popular IRC clients include tkirc, bitchx, xchat and EPIC on Unix, and Mirc under windows. Here are some links to help you get started with irc.

[Alug]Microsoft foot-in-mouth again?
by Graham Trott 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Just to get that warm feeling of superiority... "Microsoft has banned the cover-mounting of its software on magazines, and is advising users to go to its own web sites for updates instead. And apparently, it's all Sun's fault." http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/33021.html -- GT

Was there much interest from visitors? Jen

[Alug]Useful Info. Site
by Keith Watson 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Has anyone here ever looked at a US based Linux support site called Linux Orbit <http://www.linuxorbit.com/> ? It has a useful list of 'HOWTOs', 'Mini-HOWTOs' and 'Quick Tips' (especially those related to Debian ;o) ) One in particular I mentioned at the meeting on Sunday is "GRUB in Debian HOWTO" <http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&r… iewarticle&artid=539&page=1> But be warned it's the sort of placed you go to to look at something specific and then spend hours checking out all sorts of goodies.

[Alug]Meeting report - Norwich Sept 28th 2003
by Syd Hancock 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

The meeting in Norwich on sunday at the Billy Bluelight had a good turnout - 13 people in all - too many to list unless people insist! See photos on the page referenced below. I feel credit for the turnout is very much due to Mark for being willing to face the massed ALUG ranks and present a talk - thank you, Mark. Having a specific focus gives a different flavour to the meeting and is something I hope we can develop further next year. Mark's talk on the boot process was well-prepared and well-presented. It was accessible and informative for novices like myself while offering plenty of scope for debate, contributions and heckling from the floor :-) Lecture notes and summary are on the website here: http://www.alug.org.uk/articles/2003/boothalt.html (as posted earlier by MJR - included here for furure reference) Later there was also some discussion of the library and general meeting planning. Sadly Kirsten was not able to bring any cakes this time but otherwise everything went very well. Syd

[Alug]new addition to Alug library Linuxuser & developer magzine
by abower＠thebowery.co.uk 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi all, I just got home to discover 3 copies of Linuxuser and developer magazine (technical edition with coverdisc) sitting on my doorstep to be handed around the group (many thanks to LinuxUser http://www.linuxuser.co.uk ). It has a complete set of Redhat 9 on the coverdisc, articles include "how linux is revolutionising movie production" (shame they didn't feature the London production companies though) "can AMDs Opteron cope with Linux" "Getting a small business working online" etc. etc. Anyhow if you want one of these you can either come and pick it up from me in Cambridge (or arrange some kind of sneaker net to get them to you) or I will be at the next Norwich evening meeting (that is if the meeting is rescheduled for the 16th of October as I will be in London on the 9th for LinuxExpo. It would be good if we could get people who take copies to pass them on to other people who want them also in their local area so any alternative ideas on distributions would be welcome.

[Alug]red hat installation help
by Kendall, Rob 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi al, total Linux newbie.....am trying to install RH9, and am not getting very far. I have followed some instructions, but so far nothing is helping..... basically the system is.... compaq proliant dual PII 450 mhz(each cpu) 512mb ram on board graphics (1 meg....its a server!) (various scsi 120 gb hdds (x5)) winxp win2kserver spare partition for RH9 has compaq monitor, keyboard and mouse. when i put the cd1 in, the install starts. if i just hit enter, the anaconda installer starts, does hardware probing, gets past the monitor and hangs. If i do 'linux noprobe'...i select the correct scsi driver for hdds, then the anaconda installer starts, does hardware probing, and hangs! Someone has told me that some monitor types can hang the instal, but i know that the same setup as mine has had RH9 installed on it fine. I dont know what else to do....someone has suggested installing textual, but i dont know if im advanced enough to try! any other suggestions? thanks in advance Rob ******************************************************************************************** " This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
