Well, that time is drawing near... yes March 5th is the North Central Ohio
Linux Users Group meeting.
For the month of March, we are looking to temporarily relocate the meeting
site to NC State College Room 136 of the Fellarious(sp?) building. The
meeting will run from 6:30 - 8:00, from 8:00 - 8:30 will be a transition
time where Chuck will be teaching his Linux I class. This will be a time to
meet the students and to share with them our experiences with Linux and to
introduce them to a community of Linux users here in Mansfield.
The topic this month will be the FogProject (http://www.fogproject.org).
The FogProject is a suite of GPLv3 tools that allow you to image PCs across
the network, boot diagnostic tools on machines, securely wipe hard drives,
push printers, manage assets, and a myriad of other tasks. It's an AMAZING
platform; I use the phrase "ABSURDLY AMAZING" when describing this product
to my co-workers and fellow geeks... The fact that this is a FREE (liberated
and beer) is just icing on the incredibly rich cake that is the FogProject.
I'll be demonstrating the following task around the FogProject:
1: Installation on and Ubuntu Linux system (just as easy on a Fedora/Redhat
RPM disto)
2: Basic Pieces, Parts & Concepts (Apache, DHCP, PXE Boot, DHCP Options,
etc)
3: Implementation Scenarios
a: Managing Corporate Machines
b: Home Machine Imaging - Don't clean spyware, just image the system!
c: Securely wipe HDDs automagicaly!
d: What are the hardware specs on my machines???
4: Other stuff???
I look forward to seeing you all there. PLEASE REMEMBER, we're going to be
changing the location, so tell your friends!
Mike K.
