The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Webmin
"Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely." Adam Thompson will demonstrate the installation and use of Webmin as an alternative to editing config files and using the command line.
RTFM: fio
This month's RTFM will be presented by Wyatt Zacharias, who will talk about the fio(1) command. The "flexible I/O tester," fio is "a tool that will spawn a number of threads or processes doing a particular type of I/O action," usually "to write a job file matching the I/O load one wants to simulate."
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.
