<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> Well there's
something going on at the convention center (Computer Show and Sale?) this
weekend Friday to Sunday and parking will be a problem. To say the least
trying to bring equipment to the meeting will be not easy, but not
impossible (weather permitting!) </STRONG></FONT><FONT size=2><STRONG>I think
with the weather being a problem and parking issue, I think I'll pass on bring
the unit with Mandrake 8.0 on it with me. </STRONG></FONT><FONT
size=2><STRONG>Well I was only thinking of taking it to the meeting to have
someone to show me a few tricks on how to get all the updates and patches for
it. </STRONG></FONT><FONT size=2><STRONG>It has a NIC so if we where connected
to the internet (via T1 line at the meeting room) I could do a run through and
learn the little tricks involved. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>I also have a question and opinions.
</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> I'm just voicing
my opinions, but are we going to do as mentioned. (below in quotes) I know how
you guys like to do your frag fest matches and that's fine, But I think that
what every part of the general population that is interested in Linux and
may seek us out in time. Also we need to make sure that we are doing
are best to advocate Linux and question...Are? people are going away
saying that I learned something. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>

"</STRONG></FONT><FONT size=3>A ideas for presentations, I would very much like
to see a set up and USE of NIS. Examples. Exactly how do I setup the
maps, what about adding users, changing passwords, changing home location from
local to NFS, changing profiles, all the standard admin type things. I can
bring at a minimum the server box if others can bring machines to act as
clients...</FONT><STRONG><FONT size=4>"</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> Also I
think that we should start passing out a single sheet or better with information
on the topic. Like where to find, how to do, web sites and so on. Most
of this information (if not all) is on the web, and a cut and paste is
all it takes. I think that just a short presentation does not do justice to the
advocating of Linux. We have to understand that not everybody is
at the same level and that we need to present Linux to
the masses better than as we have been doing so far. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to voice my
two cents.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
