I don't see LFS happening in two days, and no one else really gave a solid distro to try. I'll have Slackware on my laptop, but I've been having trouble getting WiCD to get the wireless up and running. I think I have to concede defeat.

I don't even think that that would finish compiling in the 48 hours that I'd have available. I'll try though, and I'll call my LFS distribution "Fedora 15" just for convenience. :) You are so-o-o funny.

Nothing large and well-scripted, just a quick overview, and interactive demonstration of the method that worked for me.

I have a buddy that runs Tcpdump I'm talking w/ him now about posting Linux articles from here to there. Bridgwaters would be less of a haul for him =D. -Tory PS Mike burn down the top floor w/ all his servers? Send via email. It is, Bridgewaters looks great, maybe carpooling from hackensack?

]]> Comment on Poll: NJLinux online communications. by njlinuxmike http://njlinux.org/2010/09/poll-njlinux-online-communications/comment-page-1/#comment-95 njlinuxmike Fri, 17 Sep 2010 02:50:48 +0000 http://njlinux.org/?p=260#comment-95 a. I think mailing lists, in our case would be the most efficient. There can be one for meeting announcements only (like we have now) and one for general group discussion. They are technically simple to participate in and every knows how to use email. b. I like this too but identi.ca is limited in its 3rd party application implementation. It is pretty much limited to browser based participation. I suspect this will see very limited participation. c. This seems so simple to use, like the mailing lists. Perhaps we just need to push it more and keep each other in the habit of frequenting the site. d. Great idea, especially if the site is being used. However, one must get into the habit of utilizing RSS. I have never been a big RSS user. I mostly just frequest the sites themselves than hitting up the feed first. I could change that but it would take time to get used to. e. Perhaps <a href="http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/survival/wilderness/how-to-send-smoke-signal.htm rel="nofollow">this</a> in binary?

Thats for two reasons, first because it is not being used. I believe that we simply do not have enough members to develop a productive forum and there are better Linux community options for support than we can provide. Second is that the software I chose for the forum (bbPress) is lacking certain features and I have had to make extra effort to control spam and bogus user registration. So as of today, I will drop that database and remove all references to our forum. If in the future a forum looks viable, we can make another effort with a better software choice.
