SLLUG Daytime: Wednesday, March 10 @ 11:30am – Node.js
This month’s presentation is going to be awesome!! Shane Hansen will be spending time with us over lunch (bring your brown bag) at BetalLoftSLC talking about node.js.
Node.js – building massively parallel applications with javascript and epoll
Node.js [http://nodejs.org/] is a framework for rapidly building massively parallel network applications using non-blocking io. It’s built on the performant [...]
Anaconda is Awesome! How to force a network request with local media using kickstart
I sure love it when I solve my own problems, but the internets are a great help to enabling me.
Today, I found myself needing to enable the network (using dhcp) from the anaconda command line (the part that says boot: when you load a CentOS/RHEL/Fedora install disk).
I needed this because I was providing a bit [...]
SLLUG Daytime: Vim 101 and Beyond
Well, it’s that time of month again, time to come to BetaLoftSLC, eat some lunch (brown bagging is encouraged) and listen to a good technical talk. This month, we have Mr. Adam Barrett, a Senior Software Developer at SOS Staffing in Salt Lake City, who will be taking some time to talk with us about [...]
Fedora Activity Days 1-3 – A ‘Frank (aka Francis) the Fedora pwnie’ report
It appears to me that the weekend in Raleigh went rather well. Even with the difficult weather conditions on Saturday into Sunday morning, I feel the result was a ’smashing’ success! There were so many things being accomplished that I couldn’t keep track of them all. I will try to make a fairly complete list [...]
Events Fedora Activity Day: Day 0
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend ever since Mel Chua suggested it back in mid-December. A Fedora Activity Day to revamp how Fedora manages events, deals with events is something that definitely has been needed for some time. I would say that the Fedora Ambassadors have been doing a bang-up job going from event-to-event [...]
SLLUG Daytime: Git this Wednesday!
Just so you are aware, we are holding the SLLUG Daytime Meeting this month.
As usual, come from 11:30am-1pm at BetaLoftSLC (357 W 200 S #201) - http://betaloftslc.com
This month, I thought I would share a basic git introduction. In my opinion, the best Source Control Management (SCM) system out right now. I’ve been using it for [...]
FUDCon F13: Another SNAFU
As some of you may know, I have been working hard to get the Fedora 12 media ready for delivery. It’s been replicated, the sleeves printed and the boxes are waiting at our CD Replication vendor. However, even though we thought we had covered all of our bases, we missed some details with regard to [...]
News: Fedora 12 is NOW AVAILABLE!!
I’ve been running Fedora 12 for about a month now (Beta first, Alpha before that). It’s the best Fedora to date.
Everything Just Works(TM).
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a system working with great sound, awesome graphics and very usable GNOME and KDE desktops. I really like the new NetworkManager features and [...]
SLLUG Daytime: RSSCloud, what is it and why should I care?
This month we’re getting back on track with the Salt Lake Linux User Group Daytime meeting at BetaLoft. Our presenter this month is C.R. Oldham and he had this to say about the presentation:
RSSCloud is an open protocol which creates a loosely-coupled Twitter-like network of people and 140 character status messages. In plainer language, it [...]
Git Hooks: Making the awesomest RCS ever even better!
Over the past month or so, I’ve been really digging into git. It’s quite the revision control system (RCS) and has some seriously awesome tools to do just about anything with your data. My latest project has been around my semi-new job at Backcountry.com as a Senior Linux Administrator. Essentially, my entire job right now [...]
