VM is fine, as long as it works & you've got internet connectivity (CentOS 
7 has issues with some legacy 100Meg NICs, which we'll cover in session #1, 
as well as workarounds).

Live DVD/USB boots are probably ok for classes if you have a way to save 
your changes (like, writing data to another USB stick possibly; I haven't 
explored this option, so I can't really advise yea or nay; if anyone tries 
this, please let us know how well it works).

For some reason, the web version of the mailing list/group wasn't updating 
for me; apologies for not replying sooner, everyone.

PS - Still tweaking slides, will probably have them up on google docs for 
pre-session dl in pdf and odt sometime in the AM hours.

[nlug] Simple Google Cloud printing in Linux

[John F. Eldredge]

I discovered tonight that the Software Center in Ubuntu has an app, 
cloudprint, that greatly simplifies setting up any printers configured 
through CUPS as Google Cloud printers.

I have a little hp elite x2 notebook that I set up to dual boot.  It took very 
little space and seems to be working great. It recognized all the hardware ok.

I hadn't thought about booting from media. What about booting from USB?  Would 
that have the same issue as from a cd?

Re: [nlug] Linux+ study session #1 - June 10th

[Wesley Duffee-Braun]

Booting from a live DVD is suitable, but changes may not survive reboots
(not sure what all is in the training, but RHC* materials usually require
reboots to ensure changes stick). I'd do what John mentioned as what he's
going to do - some kind of persistent virtual machine.

I run a mac and use virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) all
the time. Grab an ISO from https://www.centos.org/download/ and go nuts :)
http://www.jeramysingleton.com/install-centos-7-minimal-in-virtualbox/
looks like a reasonable walkthrough.

You can also use vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) - and
installed that, then downloaded and booted
http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7.box. Came
right up (vagrant init ~/Downloads/CentOS-7.box ; vagrant up ; vagrant ssh)

For a one day solution, I just had the idea of booting from a CentOS live
DVD.  Anyone think that's a good or bad idea?
