Re: Hosstraders Fall 2006 - Mission Accomplished
Well, another Hosstraders is behind us, and we survived. We didn't get there until late, but it was glad to be able to chat with Mike and Heather for a short bit at least. I was amused that Ted was wearing the same outback pocket-master cargo-vest I was -- was Ted scarred by Captain Kangaroo too? Maybe someday I'll get to a non-Hosstraders GNHLUG meeting ;-) (Note for Mike -- it may be that 256 v 384 is key for Ubuntu, as it really doesn't seem to like our smaller Lifebook. Xubuntu didn't either, though, which bothers me. Puppy seems to run as Root, and DSL's mutant mixed Woody-kernel, Sarge-apps Debian seems like it would be a nightmare to keep up on patches with, so I'm not sure what to do.) -- Bill in Boston [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] decvax!world!wdr ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I have (but didn't wear on Friday, when I was at Hosstraders) my Banana Republic photographers vest (from the olden days pre-Gap, when Banana Republic was really about safari style, not yuppies). http://www.mkwphotography.com/vest.htm I'll wear it to the next Hosstraders, we should get a photo of all us together and start a class action lawsuit. :) Or maybe it's just geek chic ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

In a similar vein, it has been established that Subaru is the official vehicle of either GNHLUG, Hosstraders, or both. I own one, so does Mike Ledoux, so does Ted Roche, and Matt and Heather Brodeur own two. Meanwhile, Forresters were crawling around Hosstraders like ants at a picnic.

Hosstraders Fall 2006 - Mission Accomplished
Well, another Hosstraders is behind us, and we survived. I just wanted to send out a quick Thank you to everyone who helped out at Hosstraders this fall. Partipants included Jon maddog Hall (who paid for the space and tables (as usual)), Mike Ledoux (a!), Matt and Heather Brodeur (who are starting to rival Mike in the amount of junk brought to Hosstraders category), Bill Sconce (who wins the award for Best Hat), and Ted Roche (Ted knows he *has* to be there). Your efforts are all appreciated. It didn't rain either day. Now that the Sox have won a World Series recently, I'm starting to worry. It's a good thing Windows Vista is still late, or I'd think the Apocalypse was upon us. Most popular distro this year was definitely Ubuntu. Although the age of Fedora 5 might have contributed to that, the Live CD aspect was definitely the big draw. SuSE is also offering a Live DVD these days; I've tried it briefly and was impressed with what I saw. You might want to check out SuSE 10.1. We also had a couple requests for Slackware 11.0, which was just released this past week. Good to see Slackware is still going strong after all these years. I had a laptop with the wrong OS on the hard disk. I booted it from a Puppy Linux CD. Puppy automatically copied itself to RAM disk. I was then able to eject the Puppy CD, and use the drive in the laptop to burn distros served over Ethernet. Neat. As noted in the past, these days, Linux is widely recognized at Hosstraders. People who had *not* heard of it are a small minority. Most had at least tried Linux before, and many were already using it, and just looking for upgrades or info on the LUG. Someone dropped off a flyer for a hamfest/flea market that will take place in Londonderry on Sat 4 Nov. While two Hosstraders events per year is enough for me, if anyone is interested, email me and I'll forward you the details. Cheers! -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
