[Linux-SIG-Planning] Meeting topic for Apr. 21???

[Dave Lundy]

As best I can recall, no meeting topic has been set yet for our next 
Linux SIG meeting April 21.  Several possible topics were suggested.  My 
summary of last month's meeting shows:

     * Multi-OS interoperability (Samba and / or Windows Services for UNIX)
     * Low cost firewall (FREESCO, theWall, ClosedBSD (AKA floppywall), 
SmoothWall, etc.)
     * webmin (It's best to learn how to administer systems using config 
files, but webmin makes it easier)
     * Synching PDAs
     * Disk partitioning - A good overview is here
     * Virtual laptop: using a "thumb drive" with a "LiveCD" such as 
Kanotix, Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, etc.
     * Demo of MythTV or similar PVR installation. Scripted? Seat of 
Pants? "Franken Myth7quot;?
     * GPL and real world (commercial) implications

And, from July 2004, we have:

The box said "Requires Windows 98 or better" so I installed Linux.
