[Eug-lug] This week's meeting - back to basics (and components)

[Linux Rocks!]

So, Meeting Tonite... 

Looks like Joseph will be demonstrating his oldworld skills on reletively new 
computer gear (brand new last year technology).

I too have a computer we can do that sort of thing to, its an intel based 
computer, and it cost about twice what Josephs cost. Ive been trying to get 
this working with the onboard raid controller, sadly absofreakingly 
luck-free. I purchased a cheapo ide raid controller from stan (he was out 
last week...) and booted ububntu... and my drives showed up. So, I think 
Ubunto was actaully able to detect all my hardware (even the cheapo pci wifi 
card).

I have Ubunto CD's (the live cd, and the 2 install cd for i386), I dont have 
my knoppix or gentoo cd's (left them at a friends...). I have slack 10 
install cd's (they both are bootable). 

The New computer has a cd/dvd burner in it, so we can use it to make disks (I 
have blanks...) of anything we want... but my primary computer is out for 
repairs :(

Dairymart is on the corner of 1st and Monroe. Im at the corner of 2nd and 
Monroe. If  you need something from Sweet Life, they are on Monroe and 
blair/7th/8th non-sense intersection.

Its currently 46 degree's I have a big porch for those that want to bike 
here... still a little cold for me to be biking... 

Address is:
211 Monroe
u-jean orygun.
I still havnt found my little blue router... if anyone has one, it could be 
handy for those that require wires.
