The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Mini-Topic Trio
Linux allows you to do some pretty cool stuff with digital cameras. Trevor Cordes will demonstrate how to use Linux to control a Canon SLR, and do some neat post-processing tricks such as exposure bracketing (AEB).
After 30 years, the writing is on the wall for the venerable MBR (Master Boot Record). Now that drives larger than 2 TB are commonly available, something else will have to replace it. That something is heir-apparent GPT (GUID Partition Table). Kevin McGregor will discuss the history of disk partitioning, and how to make use of disks larger than 2 TB under Linux.
The March RTFM will feature Gilbert Detillieux, talking about the rpm(8) and yum(8) commands, used for package management in Red Hat and similar Linux distributions.
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.
