[olug] OLUG April meeting & other events reminder

[OBrien, Timothy (Omaha Linux Users Group - OLUG)]

Reminder: The next OLUG meeting will be held on 5 April 2004 with the
following agenda:

First, our presentation:  Running *nix on older Mac hardware, by Tim Larson

Have you got an old Mac sitting around, and wondered what it was good for
since you don't have any 10-year-olds wanting to learn Photoshop? Thought
it was ready for the dumpster because your hardware skills are limited to
the x86 world and Linux doesn't run on Macs? Don't be too hasty!
Old Macs make great little *n*x boxes when you know how to treat them
right. I'll cover some of the highlights and oddities of the Mac platform,
and talk about how to install an open source OS on one.

Tim is a systems analyst with ConAgra's web support team. He's been
developing with web technologies since 1995. He was awarded his MS in
Computer Science from Minnesota State University in 2002. Along the way
he's picked up just enough system, network, and database administration to
be dangerous.
He cut his teeth on the Mac in college, and got into Linux the hard way
because as a poor college graduate all he had to work with was Apple
hardware.


Second: Discussion & planning for the OLUG booth at InfoTec


Third: OLUG Q & A
Have a question? Problem? Something still not working after the Install
fest? Bring them up during the OLUG Q & A!
