oops... maybe I'm on the wrong list... am I on the linux USERS group or
the Linux ZEALOTS group?
you don't have to be a zealot to use Linux anymore, it's true, but it
doesn't mean linux used as a workstation is common either. those people
at HUJI are tech people or scientists and students, and I suppose a
little lecture about filesystem design or the bazaar development models
are interesting and not yet fully covered by the standard university
courses, so one guy can give a lecture about his speciality and the next
day he will learn fron someone else in the group.
Ury here prepared a little lecture about kernel installations, after
meeting the people who showed up at maddog's session he understood it
was aiming too low and we have some really professional people
attending, we will therefore tune accordingly. nothing is stopping us
from doing even 2 lectures a month - one for new users and another for
the rest of the eggheads. consider the following topics for the
beginners' rounds:
compiling and installing a new kernel
bootloaders galore - when to use lilo/loadlin/chos/system commander
securing your system before dialing out to the world
configuring a proxy and masquarader to let the whole family connect on
one line.
configuring and running samba
basic system administration (process management and standard script
files)
etc...
and stuff I'd love to see for the "pro" rounds:
a look at the new journaled reiserfs
an bit-and-byte look into Mosix and how it works
PHP workshop or -
making Apache, PHP and mySQL work together - installation and pitfalls
comperative session: Perl or Python?
and I think you will agree we have a lot of interested audience for both
types of lectures, and we probably have the knowledgable people that
will be able to enlighten us on the subjects. I dare you not to come :-)
