March Meeting
Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Wed, 1999-03-17 06:30.
Just a reminder, the March YVLUG meeting will be Thursday, March 18th at the usual place. I posted this the day before the meeting... my apologies. Just in case someone doesn't know where the usual place is, it is Rocky Mountain College... Alten (I think I'm spelling it correctly) Hall.
We will be discussing the recent LinuxWorld Conference and Expo held in San Jose, CA at the beginning of March... and we will have a presentation related to X Window Managers... and maybe a demo of Wine.

Server Troubles
Submitted by Brock Williams on Wed, 1999-02-17 07:48.
Apparently, MySQL doesn't like to read its files from any different versions, so when we installed the new server and compiled up a new MySQL, it refused to import the data, and while trying, either it or I managed to screw it all up. We ended up restoring from tape, but this put us back a while. Should be ok now, though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

RedHat 5.2 Out
Submitted by Brock Williams on Mon, 1998-11-02 13:36.
Well, RedHat 5.2 has finally hit the streets! This means we definately will be able to install it at the upcoming InstallFest... Those interested in getting it sooner, click below...
I'm in the process of mirroring the intel version to the lug ftp site. If you'd like to avoid the bogged-down mirrors, get it at ftp://lugmember@lug.cotcomsol.com The account name is lugmember with password lugmember. Let's keep this volume low, though guys. Part of the deal with my IMT connection is no constant high-volume ftp traffic.
Enjoy!

Well, I freed up some space on the home partition, so now the rh5-2 stuff is available via standard anon ftp from lug.cotcomsol.com in /pub/redhat-5.2
Sorry about any confusion this may cause!

InstallFest!!
Submitted by Brock Williams on Fri, 1998-10-23 11:13.
Our next meeting, scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 1998, will be an InstallFest!
That's right, a chance for all of you to have a bunch of experienced Linux users help you install Linux on your computer!
We'll have RedHat 5.1 (possibly 5.2, if it is out soon enough!) CD's, and possibly some other distros available to install. You can even take the CD home with you when you're done for two bucks (to cover the cost of reproduction).
Anyway, all you have to do is bring yourself, your friends, and your computer down to Alden Hall, Room 004 on Rocky's campus at 7:30pm to start the transformation. We'll have demos of WordPerfect 8, as well as non-commercial versions of StarOffice 4.0 (possibly 5.0) for you to install so you can be immediatly productive on your new Linux box. Even if you don't have a box to install onto, come and help, watch, ask/answer questions, and generally have a good time.
Watch for Larry's flyer to be posted on the Web site, which will have a map, details, etc. Grab it, run some off, and post them where you see fit!
Once again, the meeting is on November 19, 1998, 7:30pm Alden Hall, room 004, Rocky Mountain College Campus. Alden is the building just west of Fortin Center.

Notes from last meeting.
Submitted by Scott Beverly (not verified) on Thu, 1998-10-08 15:24.
Well, I guess it has been a while since the first meeting, but I thought I should post some basic notes about how the first meeting went.
In general fun was had by all. I believe that there were 12 people in attendance. That wasn't too bad considering it was our first meeting. Soda and cookies were provided by some of the lug members. Thank you to those of you who contributed.
There was a wide variety of Linux experience present in the room. We had two people who had never used Linux all the way to several people with a couple of years Linux experience.
Mike Wangsmo from Redhat Software, Inc. gave a very nice presentation on the history, philosophy and direction of Redhat and Linux in general. Then discussion switched to a question-and-answer session with most of the answers coming from Mike. :)
There was some discussion as to when the next meeting should be held. It was decided that although we would like to have a fixed day of the month to meet (like every third Thursday of the month or whatever) that we would push off to the fourth week of October because most of the people in attendance either work at or are students at Rocky Mountain College and they have mid-terms or something the third week (Sorry if I got that wrong I didn't actually take notes :). We hope to pick a "regular" meeting day and stick to that in the future.
Mike was kind enough to have given us some really cool Redhat Linux gear which we gave away as door prizes. We drew names and gave away T-shirts, hats, RH 5.1 Boxed Sets, and stuff like that. I saved some of the same for the next meeting, so don't worry you can still WIN! Just join us on Thursday, October 22, 1998 at 7:30pm in Alden Hall Room 004 on the Rocky Mountain College Campus.

Redhat Representative at the first meeting.
Submitted by Scott Beverly (not verified) on Mon, 1998-08-31 13:38.
YES! It is true, Mike Wangsmo, Director of Quality Assurance for Redhat Software, will be at the meeting. He is going to do a presentation about Redhat, and then let questions drive the discussion. Mike told me that he would bring some cool Redhat stuff to give away at the meeting, so make sure you're there!
