[juneau-lug] September meeting date

  • From: Juneau Linux Users Group <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • To: Juneau Linux Users Group <juneau-lug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 18:17:36 -0800 (AKDT)

The September meeting of the Juneau Linux Users Group is currently
scheduled for Friday, 27 September 5:30P.M. - 9:00P.M. at the Mendenhall
Community Library conference room.

The meeting topic will be DHCP and dynamic DNS, along with basic Apache
configuration and a demonstration of named based virtual hosts (once the
DNS is up and running).  Hopefully this will be a fun meeting, and a
little more interesting for the participants.

The meeting will be in a clinic format - one group will set up and
configure the DHCP/DNS server, and another will set up and configure the
Apache server. Additional projects are welcome (for example, Postfix or an
X server), all you need is an interest in the subject matter and at least
one person who can lead the group through setup & configuration in
approximately three hours. The general idea is to give our newer members
some keyboard time setting up commonly used servers. Those of you with
more *nix experience should be prepared to answer questions and provide
general guidance.

James Zuelow will bring the following hardware for the clinic, which will
be sufficient to build the DHCP/DNS & Apache servers and have some DHCP
clients:

2 HP Vectra 5/90s (48MB RAM, 512MB/1GB HDD) Debian 3.0
1 Gateway P5-90 (32MB RAM, 1GB HDD) Debian 3.0
1 Gateway P5-100 (32MB RAM, 2GB HDD) Debian 3.0
1 Sharp PC-8700 (24MB RAM, 340MB HDD) Debian 3.0
2 15 inch monitors (don't worry, OpenSSH is installed on all 4 boxes)
2 keyboards.
1 12 port 10Mb/s hub

The complete set of official Debian 3.0 CDs will be available, so most any
package that needs to be installed will be available. Please note that
these machines do not currently have X installed, so this is your chance
to brush up on command line skills. One of the Vectras has DHCPD installed
but not configured, while the other has Apache installed but not
configured.

If you would prefer to bring a more powerful machine or your laptop,
please bring a patch cable as well so you can connect to the hub.  Laptops
with SSH installed would be nice, as that would allow more people to work
on the servers simultaneously.  Also, if you would like to use a different
OS on one of the machines, please pipe up on the mailing list so we can
make sure it is installed before the meeting.

Comments, questions & complaints should be directed to the mailing list.
