Paul Elliott will show how Linux users can commoditize their ISP and
be cool by acquiring their own domain name. Your ISP does not need to
control your email address or your web address. He will show how
common GNU/Linux programs such as mutt, kmail, evolution, and Mozzila
Thunderbird can be used to send and receive email, using IMAP,
connecting to a free mail service such as google apps, which can hold
the mail associated with a domain.

He will show how a subdomain name combined with ssh and dynamic DNS
can be used to "phone home" from a mobile laptop to a home desktop
computer. X11 screen programs can run on a remote desktop but the
display can be on the mobile laptop.

The Presentation will take place from 7:30 to 9:00pm February 4th at
the City of Austin Waller Creek Complex at 625 East 10th Street in
downtown Austin.
