The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, June 14. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Gentoo
Eric Raine will be presenting on the Gentoo Linux Distribution.
Differences in installation from Ubuntu will be covered. Also
covered is how to configure installation of packages and update.
Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD
that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about
any application or need.
RTFM: Terminal Control Commands
Due to a recent influx of new and novice members, Trevor Cordes
will be doing an RTFM instead of a daemon dash this month. The
topic is something every *NIX user should master: terminal control
commands (e.g. ^Z and ^L) and rudimentary job control. These little
dual-key presses will streamline your terminal sessions and make you
more efficient. You'll wonder how you ever got by without them!
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
