OK, how much time would you take Carl? Jim, what would you like to talk about? Newer agenda: bash overview -- John H Robinson IV bash script concepts Customizing your Bash environment -- Carl Lowenstein useful bash scripts for beginners why you might want to use another shell -- John H Robinson IV I dropped a couple so it will fit in the two hours alloted. Anyone else? We need to figure out how we can do this with a single computer, so we don't spend half the meeting swapping computers. John wants MagicPoint installed. I'm thinking if people can create their presentations in their local directory on http://www.kernel-panic.org/Members then we can use the web interface to present. Of course that assumes that we can reach our web server from inside SDCOE network. -- Neil Schneider pacneil_at_linuxgeek_dot_net http://www.paccomp.com Key fingerprint = 67F0 E493 FCC0 0A8C 769B 8209 32D7 1DB1 8460 C47D When I was a boy I was told that anyone could grow up to be president.
