I can volunteer to talk about the following topics if anyone wants me to:
* hacking with phidgets (http://www.phidgets.c...  ) and arduino (http://www.arduino.cc...)* HTPC build + choices of software * shell scripting * C programming * intro to auto-tools (automake / autoconf / libtools) * simple audit, hardening * basic SSH tutorial * boring server stuff (php, sql, apache, etc.) * basic encryption with device-mapper / whole-disk encryption * build your own inexpensive RAID-5 filer Suggestions? |

Puddles:
Thanks on this. I appreciate the fact that others will "step up to the plate" and help provide topics. There are several items in your list that I'd love to hear about. I think #1 for me at this time is the encryption topic. I'd like to explore the ways to encrypt various items: drives, email, files, etc. However, I'd also like to see if others will post here what they'd like before we make a decision... Thanks, let's stay tuned...  Bob |

I would like to second Bob's suggestion. There are several other topics that I'm interested in, but encryption is a good place to start. So, I'll vote for encryption.
I gather from some of the comments made at the meetup, that HTPCs would be another topic of interest for some. I've built a couple, using MythTV, but I'm always looking for new information and suggestions. So, that's my second choice. |

I just wanted to say hi. I am a rookie with Linux but I support it and love to promote it. One of these days I will make a meeting.
Just letting Bob know that I read all the emails that come my way, not a "ghost" member, but one that is watching off to the side. thanks |

Encryption sounds great to me, as well. Also, using the "auto" tools is an intriguing idea..especially since I am "still" wanting to build my own distro someday...remember, Bob? :-). Something for the future might be setting up wireless - resources for certain kernels and machines, as well as walkthroughs..especially since laptop support is still "iffy"...
Thanks! Chana |

If anyone knows anything on getting wireless to work using SLAX 6.0.9 (I believe is the latest) would be a hero to me ^_^

Ben et. al:
Bring it to the next meetup. I'm closing this discussion, based upon the current input. Encryption and related subjects will be the topic at the May 2009 Linux Meetup. Bob |
