Re: Linux Books and Software
Just an update: I'll be bringing all the books and software to the next CentraLUG meeting. After that, I will post a list of what's left for whoever wants it. -- TARogue (Linux user number 234357) Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. -- Plato ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: CentraLUG Meeting, March 6, Steve Amsden, Linux Terminal Services
Thanks, Ted, for the great lead in, and belaying my other anxieties! See you there. gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org on Friday, March 3, 2006 at 10:00 AM wrote: Presentation March 6, 2006 Monday, 7pm at NHTI The monthly meeting of CentraLUG, the Concord/Central New Hampshire chapter of the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group, occurs on the first Monday of each month on the New Hampshire Institute Campus starting at 7 PM. This month, we'll be meeting in Room 146 of the Library/Learning Center/Bookstore, http://www.nhti.net/nhtimap.pdf , marked as I on that map. Directions and maps are available on the NHTI site at http://www.nhti.edu. Open to the public. Free admission. Tell your friends. This month's meeting will feature Steve Amsden, Network Administrator for the Merrimack Valley School District, showing off LTSP, http:// www.ltsp.org/, the Linux Terminal Server Project. From Steve: LTSP is an add-on package for Linux that allows you to connect lots of low-powered thin client terminals to a Linux server. Applications typically run on the server, and accept input and display their output on the thin client display. The power and flexibility of this platform have far reaching implications, particularly for K12 school districts who have been educated and brave enough to seek other solutions than the cost of systems and applications software. But more specifically, being locked into a treadmill of constant upgrades, licensing problems, and unsupportable client-server nework environments that have been the Achille's heel of technology education. Merrimack Valley School District has five LTSP server environments in various states of implementation, and uses e-Smith Linux server for gateway, DHCP, content filtering, firewall, and Windows 2000 emulation using SAMBA. Exeter School District, as well as Salem, are too using combinations of e-Smith and LTSP. Though LTSP has made in-roads into the schools, it will be some time before the full impact is realized, and others convinced that there is a better way than the Microsoft Way. 1) Opening Remarks/Overview of Presentation 2) Begin LTSP Demo Server Installation 3) Login to LTSP Terminals 4) Overview of User Desktop Options and Applications 5) Eval the Role of dhcpd.conf lts.conf in Configuring LTSP 6) Test Terminal Access to Demo Server 7) Review LTSP-to-Windows Terminal Server Connectivity 8) Closing Remarks, Q A, Handouts (CD copies of LTSP 4.2 and e- Smith 6.01-1 will be available) Should be an awesome presentation! Tell your friends! Tell your schools! (Steve had indicated if this presentation goes well, he'd be open to consider a NH-wide Quarterly meeting or similar venue.)

Re: OT: Forum legalish question
There's a couple of groups on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhlibertarians/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NHPorcupines-announce/) that I'm sure would look at this with Rabid Fascination.With New Hampshire having been chosen as the Free State ( http://www.freestateproject.org) there are many people taking a close look at how government works within the state, and making sure that such abuses, while difficult to stop, are given a lime-light and made to be very public knowledge. There are a number of people within the mail-lists that have a good understanding of such laws and ordinance and where you may get the backing/knowledge you'll need when a suite is brought.With enough eyes in the state on the prospect, a useless legal action is far less likely.

Re: OT: Forum legalish question
After talking to some people some interesting things came to light. At one point when Joe said he was going to sue me, I decided to call the district lawyer. I left a message saying that I wanted to talk to them to find out what the complaints were and comply with any law that I may be breaking. I never got a call. So he called this other lawyer and put down a $500 retainer. Clearly this is only for letter writting. The general thought now is that he had to do this, because the district lawyer knew he couldn't win any case against, well, basically a bunch of people bitching about the local government. There's a couple of groups on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhlibertarians//nhlibertarians/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhlibertarians/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NHPorcupines-announceNHPorcupines-announce http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NHPorcupines-announce/) that I'm sure would look at this with Rabid Fascination.

No. I suspect the issue is rather whether the issues raise a district matter or whether it is a personal issue. The district's lawyer would not involve himself in a personal matter. So far all I have seen on the site and these posts is the typical petty nonsense that disgruntled people in village districts do all the time. Not making a judgment, but it is the stuff that makes NH the place it is for good or ill. As to the free state people and their influence. Fat chance.
