Hi FSCKers! Thank you all for coming today! For those who didn't have a chance to come: I have recorded the introductory speech and it will be live on Youtube soon (as soon as I figure out how to split and chop video using ffmpeg). I will announce when the video is live. So Ubuntu is coming this weekend and we will have an installFest next weekend (or maybe the weekend after the next -- need ideas on this?). We'll have it mirrored on Truman's talc server (http://talc.truman.edu), so check there for @10Mbps+ download on campus. We'll help `n00bs' installing Linux on the Fest, so you might want to explore how to install Linux properly by yourself. As far as I know, the process will be easy (point+click), but if you want to learn something, there are a couple of ideas in ordered by level of awesomeness: Level 1 (I'm better than a n00b): - What is x86 and amd64? - Installing FlashPlayer Square instead of the current one so we can watch hulu. Level 2 (I do it like in Hollywood movies): - How to create a live USB key. - The alternative installation CD is awesome. Try it instead of using the ``live'' CD. - Change your repo to Truman's mirror so you have 100Mbps apt-get install: http://fsck.truman.edu/fsck_resources_linux.shtml Level 3 (I change my distro every 3 days): - Disk Partitioning: Doing it properly will save us from disasters, make further upgrades easier, and save us from crying if things go wrong. Red Hat has an awesome explanation on file systems & partitioning: An Introduction to Disk Partitions: http://goo.gl/hhta Recommended Partitioning Scheme: http://goo.gl/eO9w We can talk about all that on the Fest. Happy hacking! ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
