Linux websites

Ok so here are some linux websites I find useful.

First for the distros that I use most
http://www.debian.org
http://www.debian-multimedia.org
http://www.slackware.com
http://www.gentoo.org
http://www.crunchbang.org
http://www.ubuntu.com

Now for the help sites I use most.
http://www.linux.com
http://www.tldp.org <--Bar non the best collection of linux howto's
The forum sites for debian, ubuntu, and gentoo also provide great howto's
that will work on most linux systems even though they were written to be
distro specific.
http://www.google.com <--the best search site for all linux programs lol.
This is where I find howto's and other info pertaining to linux and linux
programs. :)

Of course you all have a great site to follow at this site at
http://gvlug.blogspot.com which is where I post.

Well browse around and see what you like. If you find a great site for
linux or unix help let me know with an e-mail. See you all Tuesday!

Second Meeting

Ok everyone we are less than a week away from our second Linux Users Group
meeting in the grand valley. Once again we will be meeting from noon to
one thirty on Tuesday May 19th at Main Street Bagel.

This months topic is going to be using the command line to manipulate and
edit text files. Text files are the way of storing configuration files in
linux. Almost every program that you've ever used in linux, including our
pretty gui programs have a simple text file configuration. The files we
will focus on for this meeting include fstab, conkyrc, and cups.conf, and
hosts. Each of these files have a different syntax from one another but
follow conventions that many other configuration files use.

As always if you have a laptop bring it to the meeting with you as we will
be hacking away at the keyboard as much as possible with this meeting. As
always I will be available to anwser your questions to the best of my
ability.

I look forward to seeing you there.
