[KLUG Members] KLUG General Assistance Meeting Today, February 5th, 2008

[William Lindemann]

*2008-02-05 - General Assistance Meeting*
This meeting is intended for those who are just curious about Linux and Open
Source software, who need some help getting started, or want some extra eyes
to look at your advanced problem. You can also bring your computer in order
to have Linux installed on it, at no charge; or to try a Linux distribution
that boots from CD and requires no change to your system's current software.
If you would like assistance with a specific problem please e-mail a
detailed description to installmaster at kalamazoolinux.org, so we can be sure
someone familiar with your issue will be available to assist you. If you
would like to install Linux on a system, or you need help with Linux, please
fill out a Help Request so that someone can research your hardware/software,
etc... Installations and assistance are done by appointment ONLY. You must
fill out the appropriate form one week prior to the meeting. If you only
have general questions or curiosity you don't need to do anything but show
up!

We meet weekly, each Tuesday at 7 PM.

Our meeting site is The Kalamazoo Chamber of Commerce in downtown
Kalamazoo.We have detailed
maps <http://kalamazoolinux.org/meetings/maps.php3> to our meeting location.


We conduct formal presentations and business meetings about once a month.
Other meetings are informal work shops. Be sure visit our presentation
schedule <http://kalamazoolinux.org/meetings/schedule.php3> page for a
current list of future events.

Some of our past presentations
<http://kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/>have included foils and
handouts and are available for review, further
questions, and to see what level of presentations we have had so far.

We usually have a laptop running Linux at each meeting to demonstrate Linux
and help answer any Linux related questions. We also are happy to help
anyone install Linux at a meeting. We have successfully installed Linux a
number of times in the past. Just let us know in advance by sending email to
our installmaster <installmaster at kalamazoolinux.org>, so we can plan for it,
and bring your PC to the meeting. We have also helped people set up Linux
services at meetings. At one meeting we installed networking on a PC someone
brought in. We configured the network card, installed NFS, FTP, and Apache
Web server. We used the all these networking functions on the PC, right at
the meeting, by connecting it to our Laptop with a 10BaseT crossover network
cable.

You may purchase <http://kalamazoolinux.org/cd/> many major Linux
distributions burned on CDR at meetings if you let us know in advance.

Please send any questions about our meetings to: the KLUG
