[olug] Re: Interested in a Linux field trip?

[Joe Gulizia]

It will at least be June.

The equipment still has to be installed in our uplink
building (hopefully in May).  SCOLA has a major
conference this next week and then that's the next
major deal for me.  It will be SCOLA's first
organizational use of Linux.  Jay @ Reboot is doing
the job...so the distro will be probably be Gentoo.

At a later point we're going to (hopefully) need a
bunch of MythTV type set ups....BUT one step at a
time.

Myself and Charles Bird have pushed Linux due to
uptime without freezing (aka crashing), the ability to
customize without major bloat, multi-tasking ability
and software costs (and if ever networked protection
from most viruses).

Unfortunately, we have to have some Windows machines
to view our Quicktime 6.0 streams Live.

More as things develop.
