[SLUG] Ruby Sunday.
There are many issues regarding Ruby to be discussed. Has Rails done real good things to the progression of the language or more for the techniques of new-language promotion? Being a dynamic language it is fitting that the topic of discussion is dynamic. So this will be decided upon at the Cohi Bar on Sunday. If the numbers are low, no problem. More time to Ruby itself. Venue: Cohi Bar Loft (upstairs), Harbourside. dateTime: Around 3pm. Duration: Until sunset. Available: Cocktail Bar, wireless. Parking: Loop around the Wentworth park, up the steep hill of William-Henry, left into Jones, park near the end of Jones, walk down to Harbourside over walkway. Alternative transport: Monorail, lightRail, 501 bus (Ryde), walk. dressCode: Presentable. (It's a cocktail bar). --- Govirtual.com.au/KEYS/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Govirtual is protected by strong antiVirus Spam blocking.

Re: [SLUG] VPN and Monmotha.. :/
Read my comment again. I am not suggesting openvpn, I am suggesting openswan; it took over from freeswan. It supports X509 as well, which freeswan didn't (except with extensions). The other major change is that it does not create ipsecX interfaces but uses the existing interfaces, so it may need some changes to iptables rules - this one caused me some midnight oil burning when I switched over.

[SLUG] Migrating from lprng to cpusys: Any gotchas?
Hi I'm currently using LPRNG and magicfilter (with custom written filters) for printing at home ... we have three printers with different capabilities on a small network of machines. One of the machines (a Xerox Phaser 8200) has all kinds of funky machine-specific postscript for setting image type, resolution etc. Seems that this is handled semi-automatically with cupsys, foomatic, and a PPD file (which Xerox kindly provides). So I'm thinking about migrating.. (the alternative would be to set up multiple queues in LPRNG, each of which edits its postscript on the fly to set the parameters appropriately) Are there any gotchas I should be aware of in migrating? Is there a better way, that I haven't thought of, for handling printing on Debian Linux? I still want to b able to do: lpr -Pxerox funky.ps and have it `just work' -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Do I still need python, smalltalk, and perl when ruby-on-rails make these tools seem like Monte Carlo equations in web development ? Why do I need YET-ANOTHER-DEVELOPMENT-FRAMEWORK when there are dozens already ? Thanks for your efforts ? Being a dynamic language it is fitting that the topic of discussion is dynamic. So this will be decided upon at the Cohi Bar on Sunday. If the numbers are low, no problem. More time to Ruby itself. Venue: Cohi Bar Loft (upstairs), Harbourside. dateTime: Around 3pm. Duration: Until sunset. Available: Cocktail Bar, wireless. Parking: Loop around the Wentworth park, up the steep hill of William-Henry, left into Jones, park near the end of Jones, walk down to Harbourside over walkway. Alternative transport: Monorail, lightRail, 501 bus (Ryde), walk. dressCode: Presentable. (It's a cocktail bar). --- Govirtual.com.au/KEYS/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Govirtual is protected by strong antiVirus Spam blocking. You have been whitelisted.

What i did was: - Go to http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/pool/main/r/runit/ and grabbed runit_1.5.1-1.diff.gz runit_1.5.1-1.dsc runit_1.5.1.orig.tar.gz - Unpacked and built a .deb using dpkg-source -x runit_1.5.1-1.dsc cd runit_1.5.1 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc - Installed the deb using dpkg. - Fiddled with the grub boot menu stuff as per the article. - Ran sudo sudo runit-init 6 At this point it complained about a missing directory /etc/runit so I backed out all the changes. If I get some time I might try this again and figure out why its not getting set up correctly. Maybe on my old laptop. This is shipped in Ubuntu - apt-get install runit-run. Cheers, Rob I just tried to install it.. In my noobness :( now ubuntu wont boot... It gets to a point where it says: -runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1 -runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2 And there it waits :( Looks like another reinstall :( -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Try editing the boot line from within the GRUB boot manager and get rid of the init=/sbin/rinit bit and see if it boots with /sbin/init. Failing that, you can boot off a Linux CD, mount the partition and remove the rinit changes you just made so it uses init again, or you can try and fix rinit.

[SLUG] Fwd: Club history
Hi all, Although i'm familiar with the past few years of SLUG history, would some of the old timers care to help me out with the following email? Cheers, Lindsay -- Forwarded message -- From: Steve Demeo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: May 27, 2006 4:29 AM Subject: Club history To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lindsay, I have heard it rumored that one of the first Linux User Groups in the world was founded in Australia. I understand that the Sydney Linux User Group (SLUG) was established in 1993 only 2 years after Linus Torvalds originally created the Linux operating system. Would you have any information with regard to whether SLUG was the first LUG? If not the first where in the rankings would you guess it would be placed? If not would you have an indication of which global LUG's may have established earlier that SLUG? eg. SVLUG (Silicon Valley LUG) and BALUG (Bay Area LUG) SVLUG From what I can tell, SVLUG was originally named the Silicon Valley Computer Society (SVCS) and formed in 1988 as a PC-Unix SIG. Linux was first discussed at a SVCS meeting in April 1992. The group was renamed the Linux SIG in 1995 and then renamed the Silicon Valley Linux User Group in 1997. This might give me enough information to establish a ranking and any information would be greatly appreciated.
