by Gilbert E. Detillieux 27 Mar '09

Easy Peasy (formerly Ubuntu Eee)is an Ubuntu-based distribution for netbooks. They're looking for users of various netbooks to install it, try it out, and report results for their compatibility list. If you're interested, read on... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Easy Peasy Compatibility List could use your LUG's help Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:49:09 +0300 From: Joshua <jazzedupj0sh(a)gmail.com> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Hello LUG Admin, The Easy Peasy Compatibility list could really use some input from your LUG members. Some of your members probably are owners of netbooks, which may be listed on our compatibility list. Unfortunately we don't have enough data about how they work with Easy Peasy. Our aim is to get Easy Peasy working out-of-the-box on every netbook in the market. Would you be willing to help us out with this? If yes, then please follow these simple instructions to input your details. http://www.geteasypeasy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1303 We would really appreciate your help. I hope you will inform all the members of your LUG too. Thanks :) Joshua

Bootable CD with partition editor
by Mike Pfaiffer 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I'm looking to find (as the title says) a bootable CD with a partition editor/resizer. We have a couple potentials in the Lab already. I won't know until I get in tomorrow if the program is already on them. If they are not there then I'd like to bring one in for tomorrow. The CDs we have are Kubuntu 8.10 and the Trinity Rescue Kit. The plan is to do some installs from disk archives of a small hard drive and expand the partition after the installation. If this works out it could save hours of work. Later Mike

Google Measurement Lab, Wireshark, Sharkfest 09
by Sean Walberg 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

There was talk earlier about the Google Measurement Lab which is the suite of online tools to see, among other things, if you're being throttled. The Wireshark conference, Sharkfest 09, is now featuring a session on the tool set. The conference runs from June 15 - 18th. I'll be at the conference again this year. Last year was an awesome time, I learned an incredible amount about Wireshark (and I use it on a daily basis). It's at Standford this year. Sean -- Sean Walberg <sean(a)ertw.com> http://ertw.com/

Short term position to fill.
by Sean Cody 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

If anyone is interested in doing some archiving work for a few months please send me an email and a resume. We've got a few large boat-loads of data that need to be herded to Winnipeg and then on to some tapes and we could use a few extra hands to make that go faster. Will train, though experience with Linux command line, tar, and a refined attention to detail preferred. Drop me a line with any questions and feel free to pass this along. -- Sean

Stats on URL access/usage
by Montana Quiring 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I'm wondering if there is a web tool like feedburner, but for general web page URL's instead. I wants stats! :) These URL's are to calendar links (ical, xml, etc) so to my knowledge I can't put tracking code on them to make use of a 3rd party tool like google analytics. Any suggestions? -- -Montana My Google Reader Shared Items: http://tinyurl.com/montanashare My Netvibes page: http://www.netvibes.com/antikx#About_Montana

External hard drives for Linux
by schwartz 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I'm thinking of buying an external USB hard drive for my Linux desktop. I'm concerned that these USB drives might be non-generic, somehow dependent on XP/Vesta or have fixed file systems ( NTFS or FAT36 ) or just slow. Are any of the above an issue, or do they do a reasonable job. I just want to use one for storage, not to run an OS on. Best Buy has a SimpleTech 1 TB for $150. Future Shop has Comstar One-touch 1 TB for $150. I don't think my BIOS can handle 1 TB drives but for that price I'm temped anyway. Any information would be most appreciated.
