<DIV><SPAN class=354371114-12022002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I 
agree with the below statements -- Here is one solution -- Why cant the 
"hardcore" linux people hold an additional meeting either at a different 
location or on the Second Sunday of the month at the towers.&nbsp; I am willing 
to hold meetings somewhere in my hometown (I have access to my Firehall, Depew 
High School, and a few other places for meetings)&nbsp;more often (Depew), which 
would be closer for people at Cheetktowaga, Williamsville, Lancaster, and Depew 
(obviously) if needed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Unix/Linux.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=354371114-12022002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So -- 
lets be proactive and start something up!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=354371114-12022002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Any 
other suggestions please let me know - I am on a mission against Microsoft and 
this year is the most important year (becauseof the economy and Microsofts 
"closing dates" on their operating systems - By June of 2003 [somewhere around 
there] everyone will be forced to use XP :(&nbsp; ).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

  <DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;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&nbsp;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>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>I also have&nbsp;a question and opinions. 
  </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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&nbsp;general population that is interested 
  in Linux and may seek us out in time. Also we&nbsp;need&nbsp;to make sure that 
  we are doing are best to advocate Linux and question...Are? &nbsp;people are 
  going away saying that&nbsp;I learned something. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG></STRONG></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  "</STRONG></FONT><FONT size=3>A ideas for presentations, I would very much 
  like to see a set up and USE of NIS.&nbsp; Examples.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also&nbsp;I 
  think that we should start passing out a single sheet or better with 
  information on the&nbsp;topic. Like where to find, how to do,&nbsp;web sites 
  and so on. Most of this information (if not all)&nbsp;is on the web, 
  and&nbsp;a cut and paste is all it takes. I think that just a short 
  presentation does not do justice to the advocating of Linux.&nbsp;We have to 
  understand that not everybody is at&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;level and 
  that&nbsp;we&nbsp;need to present Linux to the masses better than as we have 
  been doing&nbsp;so far. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to voice 
  my two cents.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
