Re: [nlug] Presentation volunteers for Linux Fest needed

Joey, what's your last name, so I can put your name on the site, along with Andrew McElroy, as the presenters? Chris On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 3:58 PM, JMJ wrote: > On 6/10/2010 4:55 PM, Chris McQuistion wrote: >> >> So can I put on the website that we will have a presentat

Great! I'll get the site updated. Yeah, we'll have a projector and a laptop or two (and Google Docs for whatever slideshow format you prefer...) Chris On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 9:41 AM, JMJ wrote: > On 6/12/2010 8:15 AM, Chris McQuistion wrote: >> >> Joey, what'

Re: [nlug] [OT] Customer cannot connect Vista system to Windows 7 system share

Windows 7 has the new "HomeGroups" network system, but it can operate in "legacy mode" as well. Generally, with all versions of Windows, newer versions of Windows can connect to shares on older versions of Windows, without much difficulty, but the reverse is not always true. Microsoft changes the

Re: [nlug] HP ProLiant hard disks

I have 3 Seagate Cheetah Ultra 320, 10,000 RPM, 36 GB drives that you can have, if you're willing to come pick them up. They've been sitting in a box for years and I'm never going to use them. The model # is ST336753LW. Chris On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 12:00 PM, Alex Smith (K4RNT) wrote: > I need

Re: [nlug] Online/Offsite backups for home Linux systems

Something that might be worth adding to the list is CrashPlan. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and has a couple different operating modes, including a peer to peer mode, where you can backup one of your machines to another one of your machines (on-site or off-site) for free. I've been using thi

Re: [nlug] dirty tricks from Microsoft

I don't understand how this is dirty, either? If they want to give something away, why can't they? Google could give stuff away (and does). Apple could give stuff away (but doesn't.) Linux could give stuff away (and does.) Where's the problem? I don't like most of Microsoft's products and I w

Re: [nlug] dirty tricks from Microsoft

All this talk about 'free' being possibly bad and having ulterior motives makes me a little confused. Isn't Linux and the Free Software movement all about 'free' (as in beer) just as much as free (as in speech)? How can the same people that applaud Linux being 'free' give Microsoft a hard time ab

Re: [nlug] Sharing Linux Files with Windows

If you need to mount a share as a network drive in Windows, then Samba is the right thing to use. If you just need simple access to drag and drop files (but not necessarily mount a share as a network drive) then WinSCP is probably the best solution, since it uses SSH. Chris On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 a

When it comes to Linux, I always recommend Nvidia-based video cards. ATI has a very bad history of driver support in Linux. Chris On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 11:53 AM, Chris Faulkner wrote: > Not trying to sound like a nvidia fanboi, but the 9800's is a pretty > good deal in the nvidia line unless
