Ventura County Linux Users Group

The next meeting is Saturday, July 10, 2010. In Lab 8 starting at 2:00pm to 5:00pm at ITT Tech. This room in on the second floor about 1/2 half way down the hall. Should have a sign up at the door.

This meeting we are going to continue with LFS (Linux From Scratch). This is a great way to get to know how the Linux system works and how things are managed.
Last week we looked at two scripts written in bash to use wget to download the needed packages, patches and check the MD5sums. Both were very interesting and worth looking at. See the LFS tab at the top of the web page. Looking forward to a great learning experience installing LFS.
Here is a link for the Linux From Scratch book we will be using: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/ . Would recommend the .pdf

As always if you are new to Linux do not hesitate to come by. We will help you in anyway possible to get you going on the great adventure of learning how to use Linux. You do not need any previous experience or mastery of Linux before coming. I mostly watched and listened for a log time in the beginning. It all started making sense quickly.

Looking forward to a great meeting. After the meeting some of get something to eat. Anyone is welcome and can continue to talk about what was done at the meeting or whatever.

See you there,

Lee

VCLUG had been attacked by spam lately. We have started a system to prevent this. It is called Captcha. For spammers to get access to make comments to the website they need to log on. The Captcha program / module is intended to stop this. So if you want to make a comment, and we welcome and encourage this please bear with us and complete the challenge. I should only take a few seconds more.
