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

   I'm feeling that June would be a good time as well. 
I'll even let u look at an old ACER Altos running SCO Open Server, I thinks its a 75Mhz pentium. Man that thing makes me nervous so dont look at it too hard or it might have a kernel panic.
   Looks like I maybe trying to get another Linux box in our uplink for dish control, currently we have an 8088 with 640k ram and two floppies running old dos and a Dish possiton control program writen in basic or qbasic. I think she is almost dead, and I want to convert the program over to a 486 running a minimal linux distro. I'll most likely do it at home then bring it in cause my boss doesnt like me on computers too much when I could be swearing at anything from sources changing sattalites and trying to find them on a mislabled entry in one of our recievers or having the cordless drill die when I'm holding a heavy 19"RM reciever in the cabnet, half in. 
   Its gonna be pretty busy from now until who knows when, and hopfully I will be able to get some lil linux boxes in there to preform specific tasks.

I noticed the mention of quicktime?  I recently noticed a "gnu/darwin" distro and a "Darwin" with out the gnu on Linuxiso.org, I'll start looking at that , its from apple and its opensource so I wonder if theres QTime on there?  hmmm....theres got to be a QTime compatable source out there that could be packaged for our linux customers(if there is any)well maybe just for geek demos and stand alone stream monitoring =D
