*******************************************************
The next general meeting of The Linux Society is November 12th
(Tuesday)at the NYPC Office at 6:30 PM. The NYPC Offices are located at the
New Yorker Hotel (34th Street and 8th Avenue | Suite 1560 | 15th Floor).
The topic: Lean and Mean Linux. If linux can run on a 386 with 2
megs of RAM, why does it crawl slowly on a Pentium class machine? We'll
present tips on how to make your linux box run faster and better and the
traps that slow everything down.
It's election time for The Linux Society. Unlike Florida, the rules
are simple. We'll conduct elections at the beginning of the meeting for new
leadership. All current NYPC members of The Linux Society may vote. You
must be present to vote. You must be able to prove current NYPC membership
with your membership card or the latest NYPC calender with your name and
membership number printed on it.
Not a NYPC member, yet? It's never too late. The November NYPC
General Meeting is November 7th at P.S. 41 (11th Street, west of 6th
Avenue, NYC) with a special presentation from Steve Dawkins, the creator of
the Palm PDA and founder of Visor. Who knows how many goodies he might
bring?
The new study group meets November 1st at the NYPC Office 6:30 PM -
8:30 PM. We'll review chapters 6-7: maintaining the filesystem, users and
groups. The study schedule is posted on the certification website page.
The goal is Linux Professional Institute 101 exam certification by
December.
Keep in mind the exam is supposed to be updated in November. Check
the lpi.org website for the latest information.
Everyone should come to the study group AFTER doing the readings
and trying at least some of the exercises.
The second meeting this month will be November 15th, to review
chapters 8-9 (text streams and permissions) of: LPIC Prep Kit 101 General
Linux 1 by Theresa Hadden Martinez. I know it's not on the shelves in any
New York bookstore. However, the book is available freely off the web in
PDF format and is available for special order purchase at Barnes&Noble.
I've been assured anyone can get it 3 days after placing the order.
As with all meetings, they're free and open to the public.
Dario Castellanos, Education Director
The Linux Society
