Shawn Wallbridge from Synack Hosting and Chris Lawson and Sean Cody from Tin Foil Hat will be installing OpenBSD 3.0 on a machine and explaining the process.

MUUG Meeting, Dec 11, 7:30PM -- Using Kickstart to Install Red Hat
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 04 Dec '01

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <9uiurk$jfu$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Using Kickstart to Install Red Hat Linux Systems According to Red Hat, ``Many system administrators would prefer to use an automated installation method to install Red Hat Linux on their machines. To answer this need, Red Hat created the kickstart installation method. Using kickstart, a system administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the questions that would normally be asked during a typical Red Hat Linux installation.'' ``Kickstart files can be kept on single server system, and read by individual computers during the installation. This installation method can support the use of a single kickstart file to install Red Hat Linux on multiple machines, making it ideal for network and system administrators.'' This month, John Schulz, from Pollard Banknote Ltd., will present a quick overview of Kickstart and demo the install process. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM 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. ********************************************************************** New Location: Once again this month, and from now on, the meeting will be at the IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

MUUG Meeting, Oct 9, 7:30PM -- Consolidated Storage
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <9pcq7d$1d$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Consolidated Storage - SAN/NAS or something else? Although most I/T professionals agree on the benefits of consolidating storage, there is some discussion as to whether a Storage Area Network (SAN) or Network Attached Storage (NAS) is the best strategy. The answer is that it depends; but making the choice, especially in the face of new emerging technologies is difficult. This session will explain the concept of Consolidated Storage and its benefits. Then we will explore a few of the technologies available and on the near horizon for implementing a centralized storage infrastructure. Terry Baydock, Technical Sales Specialist with the Storage Systems Group at IBM Canada Ltd., will be our presenter for this session. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM 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. Please note our meeting location: IBM Canada's offices in the TD Centre, at the corner of Portage and Main. We gather in the lobby on the main floor - please try to be there by about 7:15 PM. Steve Moffat will then take us up to the meeting room just before the meeting starts at 7:30. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Parking is available either in the parkade behind the TD building, off Albert Street, or in the ground level lot just north of the TD building. Entrance to the lot is from Albert Street, behind the parkade. Either way, parking is a $2 flat rate for the evening. You purchase two $1 tickets from a dispenser, so make sure you've got exact change - a loonie or 4 quarters for each of two tickets.
