The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
SuseStudio
SuseStudio is an online virtual appliance builder based on OpenSUSE. "Build an appliance or your own custom Linux distro with a few mouse clicks. Customize it to your heart's content, and share it with the world!" It is quite astonishing what this site/tool can do with a few mouse clicks.
John Lange will demo, from start to finish, the creation of a completely custom Linux distribution. As a bonus, OpenSUSE 11.2 was just released and John will be using it for the demo just to give you a little taste of what it's like.
Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Gilbert Detillieux will cover the find(1) and xargs(1) commands.
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.
********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required to show photo ID at the security desk.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located behind the building on Webb Place. **********************************************************************
