Notes after Taking the NYLXS Server Apart:
Single CPU Small Form AT Motherboard
RIMM (RAMBUS Memory PC800-40 or PC800-45 Chips installed 2 x 128 MB =256 Meg
RAM Total) 2 Free Slots (1 Bank ) Available for population
Hard Drives (2) are 68 Pin Seagate 18 Gig Ultra 2 UW SCSI Drives attached to
Adapatec AHA-2940U2W SCSI Host Adapter. SCSI Chain and Cable can support
more drives if need be....
Recommendations (No, I am not offering to buy the equipmment but I'll do the
work for free!!)
1. Additional RAM is needed badly
Quote for additional 512MB Upgrade is approx. $150 to $250 depending on
new or used memory. I upgraded my Dell Precision 530 from 512MB to 1024 Meg
for $150. (used memory from Ebay). If Possible I would say to add at least 1
Gig upgrade to bring NYLXS Server to 1256 Meg RAM. 512 Meg RAM with Suse 9.1
and Spamassassin is just going to be too painful....You need at least 1 Gig
to be comfortable
2. Additional Disk Storage Needed
Add Third SCSI Drive..Seagate Cheetah 10K Ultra320 SCSI 36.7 Gig Cost
$150.00 New

Evan M. Inker (New York) x. 4615

Subject: [hangout] NYLXS Board Meeting Report
The following is a summary of our meeting yesterday for the plans for
October, 2004 and a few extra points I'm adding to the bottom from the
meeting last month:
Point: Brooklyn Tech High School
We discussed various ways to approach Brooklyn Tech. Ruben wants to hand
out disks and literature at the school for recruitment. Paul wants to wait
for 4 months because the tech support contact at BT is having hardware
problems. Ruben pointed out that we would be waiting almost until the
graduation like that.
Consensus is to discuss where and when to give out flyers and disks there.
Point: The webserver needs upgrading of RAM.
Ruben: Spamassasin is choking the server and it is time to upgrade
Evan: We'll open the box sunday night at technight and see what kind of ram
it is
Point: The website needs to be redone
Ruben: I'm not doing it
Michael: We'll need to get someone on it
Evan: WHERE IS AKBAR!
Point: Classes scheduled for October
Evan - we need instructors
Ruben - I will teach GNU/Linux 1 and Perl if need be
Evan - You said we need to get instructors and take
better pocession of Kings Games
Ruben - Well - yes that too
Peter - Offer a free class for Brooklyn Tech Students
All - good Idea
Consensus: New classes are being scheduled and GNU/Linux 1 will be offered
BT students
Note: We will probibly be able to run a class out of Midtown from a contact
I made, see further emails to hangout this week.
Point: Finances:
We need more money
Other Notes:
Ruben will be giving a class at PC Expo in October
A NYLXS Journal meeting will be called this week for next week Paul will be
calling for a meeting of the Educational Subcommittee
