EPROM burning
by millward 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

I don't own an EPROM burner myself, and since I have only 4 to burn, it wouldn't be worth while to buy a burner. Is there anywhere in town that would burn 4 27C256 24 pin EPROMs ?

Re: Roundtable digest, Vol 1 #153 - Work as a Linux Software Developer in Winnipeg?

I'd guess there are at least a few members looking for work, myself included. Would there be any interest in a member's resume link on the muug page? To keep it simple we could just have it go to a list of links to a resume board (i.e. monster).

Work as a Linux Software Developer in Winnipeg?
by Brian Doob 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

I am currently looking for work as a software developer in Winnipeg. I don't insist on working with Linux -- but it would be nice (and I have the experience). I have developed Linux software with C, C++, Qt, MySQL and PostgreSQL (I have also developed with Java). I have a BSc in Computer Science. Does anyone know of any organizations looking to hire Linux software developers in town? Any information or contacts you could offer me would be great. Thanks! -Brian Doob

EPROM retailers
by millward 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Apart from Active, does anyone else in Winnipeg sell EPROMs that can be used as NIC boot ROMs ? I've finally got enough time to set up a little experimental LTSP system with the old 486s and a DELL p133 as the server. Great fun! But I'd like to remove the floppy drives and just boot from the NICs. The fewer moving parts the better.

by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

[Posted to man.unix.general and other new groups] ------ Forwarded Article <aq8spk$4s$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, November 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Essential Unix for System Administrators Sean Walberg, who presented GPG in March 2002 and Netfilter in April 2001, will be our guest presenter again this month. This presentation will focus on some of the lower levels of Unix such as files and filesystems, processes, and the boot procedure. 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 new 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 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.

Looking for MUUG Lines Back-issues
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 31 Oct '02

31 Oct '02

Calling all MUUG members who were around in the mid-90's: We're looking for paper copies of some of the back-issues of the MUUG Lines newsletter which we appear to be missing. Our goal is to eventually have a complete collection of back-issues available online for downloading. We've already had success in locating many back-issues, and have produced PDF files out of some of these by scanning the pages in and running them through OCR software. However, we're still missing the following issues: May 1994 Jun 1994 Nov 1994 Dec 1994 Jan 1995 Feb 1995 Dec 1995 Jan 1996 Feb 1996 If you were a MUUG member during that time, and have kept back-issues of MUUG Lines, please look for these. If you have them, please let us know, so we can arrange to borrow them from you for scanning. Your help in completing our collection would be most appreciated. -- Gilbert E.

New kernel for Red Hat 8.0
by Mel Seder 19 Oct '02

19 Oct '02

I let the automated up2date agent on my panel do it's thing on both my PC's. I was able to boot one PC but not the other. It just sat there with the HD activity light on after I selected, actually it was defaulted for me, to load the newest kernel. I did a three finger salute and re-booted using the prior kernel version. I'd like to be running the newer version and am wondering if installing the new version by using the RPM for it would be easier than re-installing 8.0 and letting Red Hat go out and do it's own update of the kernel again.
