Suggestions for MeetingTopics:

• "I'd like to know how to index and search the huge mass of documentation that comes with a Linux distribution. I want my own personal Linux Box Google. It would be a very useful thing for a Linux beginner to have, but it seems beyond a Linux beginner's abilities to set up. This makes me think it's a good topic for a WLUG to be teaching." --GlynWebster

  • (spurious note: if you're using Debian, just install the dwww? package), and otherwise swish++ --JohnButtery
  • this machine has a GreenStone collection built from html/txt/info/man pages found in /usr/share/doc on a debian woody box - search/browse -- JohnMcPherson

• "Is anyone else interested in a presentation of selling/using linux in the small to medium business ??" --AndrewThrift

  • I did this last year -- GreigMcGill
• Linux Terminal Server Project
• Securing your network through use of SSL enabled services

• A bit of notice that we are expecting distinguished guests to any particular meeting (email to the list would be nice - even an hour or two in advance)... --- LindsayDruett I'll make sure I announce my attendance to every meeting then, just for you Lindsay ;) --DanielLawson

  • As soon as they are confirmed, they are posted on the Wiki. People usually prefer this to yet more email. :) -- GreigMcGill
• The basics of Emacs/Vim/bash(1), for those who are new to LinuxCulture but want to use more geeky^H^H^H^H^Hpotentially convenient tools. --JaredWigmore?
• A quick update/intro about TheHurd? -- Also JaredWigmore?.
