<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. 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) more
often (Depew), which would be closer for people at Cheetktowaga,
Williamsville, Lancaster, and Depew (obviously) if needed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=354371114-12022002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Im
free on the weekends now (quit my second job) to free up time to learn
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 :( ).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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>

<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>
"</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>
