UML can be used as a web hosting tool which enables customers to get root privileges. It also works as an experimental environment for safe networking. It provides a test bed to help you to try another distribution safely. </p> <p> In this talk Omote demonstrates UML on an single subnote (VAIO C1; TM5600@667MHz + 240MB) and introduce it briefly. </p> <p> <b>Ricky Ng-Adam</b><br> <b>RSYNC</b><br> </p> <p> Need to synchronize large quantities of files? rsync is the tool to do it! An explanation of the capabilities of that tool will be given followed by demonstrations and example of usage in conjunction with shell scripting and other Linux capabilities (such as local loopback files for backup). </p> <p> rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. </p> <tr> <td width="80" valign="top"> <b>After the meeting:</b> </td> <td>We'll continue our meeting over some beer.

It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser. </ol> <tr /> <td width="80" valign="top" /><b>After the meeting:</b></td> <td>We'll continue our meeting over some beer.

"Kickstart - Automating Linux Installs" by Alberto Tomita (I'll make the slides available as soon as I work out how :) ) Auction TLUG is a non-profit, self-supported organization. In order to cover occasional expenses, we hold auctions to raise funds. The proceeds are saved in the TLUG account and is used for server hardware maintenance, domain name registration, to rent a meeting space when a free venue isn't available, etc. As usual, May 2002 TLUG auction was a huge success. Many thanks to Jim Tittsler for running the auction, as well as people who brought in items and people who bid for them. The stuffed penguins are always very popular. Here is the summary.
