[olug] Links for several things

[Aaron Grothe]

Hi All,

Yesterday at the installfest I mentioned several links
which some people wanted so here is the list, in
absolutely no particular order.

Smart Boot Manager: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/

The tool to use for machines that can't boot from cd
for installs.  You don't need to cut x boot disks just
use this instead.

Damn Small Linux: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

A version of Knoppix/Debian which is small enough to
fit onto a Bootable Business Card.  Also works quite
well for recycling old pcs.

Flonix: 

A relative of Damn Small Linux.  Has two interesting
features.  One it can run from a USB device pretty
well.  It also supports net installs of almost all
applications so you can dynamically download install
apps onto a machine booted from CD.

MDADM:
http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2002/12/05/RAID.html

A better tool for dealing with linux software RAID
devices.  Link above is to an oreillynet article which
goes into some detail about it.

Linux on Laptops: http://www.linux-laptop.net/

The site with a lot of information about running linux
on laptops.  Whenever I'm looking for a laptop this is
the first site I hit to see how much work linux is
going to take on it.

Simply Linux: http://jetblackz.nabaza.org/

A site with a lot of good information on configuring
your distro and doing things like installing Firebird,
changing color depths and mouse sensitity in Knoppix
and the like.

If I forgot anything I mentioned please let me know. 
Otherwise congrats to Team OLUG on a very good
installfest.

Regards,

Aaron
