I am going to bring a laptop that I haven't been able to tame.  It 
supports APCI but won't go into standby properly.

In Standby, the screen goes blank, but the backlight stays on.
When the cover is closed the backlight goes off. (Probably a hidden 
mechanical switch.)
I can get it into disk suspend (which I don't desire), in which case 
the backlight goes off.  However, it locks the screen (which I don't 
want - or at least want to have a choice) and knocks out the sound.

I assume this will be easy for someone who knows what they are doing 
- which isn't me.

Those are some nice finds - I'm jealous especially since I still don't
know what happened to my old copy of DNS and BIND.  Alas, my current job
doesn't let me make it to these meetings, but my new one in Nashua in a
couple weeks ought to let me get away and start meeting some of you folk.

Good luck,
-Neil

MerriLUG meeting -- books!

2005-11-17 Thread Ken D'Ambrosio
I just landed myself with a bunch o' books that someone was going to
throw out(!!).  These include some *nix classics; below is a sampling of
the better-known titles.  These will be raffled off this evening.  The
books are in good shape, with the former owner's initials being the most
obvious "bad thing."

O'Reilly:
DNS and BIND
NFS and NIS
TCP/IP Network Administration
System Performance Tuning

And, by-and-large, everyone's favorite overall admin book:
Unix System Administration Handbook
[an older edition; not sure which, and the cover's a bit scuffed.]

== original stuff 

Just a friendly reminder; if you intend on eating, please RSVP so I can
make the reservation accurate to within at least an order of magnitude.

Thanks!

-Ken

Who:   Ourselves
What:  A discussion of whatever gets discussed; see below
Where: Martha's Exchange
When:  Thursday, November 17; 6:00 for grub, 7:30 for meeting
How:   Directions, etc., here:
http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/PlaceMarthasExchange

In an attempt to not draw people away from our "quarterly" meetings (eg.,
last week's seacoast meeting), this month's meeting will be more of a
social event than a strict "meeting."  General socializing, with some Q&A
going, too.  So bring yourselves, and bring your questions. Heck: if
you're really stumped, bring your hardware, and we'll take a stab.

Looking forward, December's meeting -- which falls on the 15th -- will
bring us none other than Ben Scott to discuss DNS for those of us (*raises
hand*) who need a refresher.  [And, yes, this was pushed back a month.]

I'll send out a reminder shortly before the 17th.

Thanks,

-Ken
