This may be the first time any of you see of this topic. If it is successful, we’ll be offering it again in the future.

First some background. With a little urging from Tim Inkpen (who has gotten involved with the OTI), Andrea Vieira and I will be presenting a rapid get up to speed course for people who wish to get their LPIC-Level 1 certification. The initial offering starts June 18^th and yesterday (I was over there to attend a session on how to bid on government contracts) there was 1 seat available in a class of 25. If anyone is interested, you should try to sign up right away.

At the last ovsage meeting, two of us installed Linux into virtual machines, then installed postfix into those virtual machines. One of us managed to get his postfix working, so that someone else present could send him an email.

In my case, I had already installed DSL (Damn Small Linux) into VirtualBox. During the meeting, I upgraded DSL to Debian and installed postfix. But, I was using NAT for networking, and that did not allow for external machines to talk to my mail server.

From Alan Fields:

Hi,

Yes I’ve finally joined ovSAGE. I attended meeting at Fidus this month. It was good but we need to work on recruiting members. Thanks to all those who keep these user groups going.

Wow! It took me long enough to get back to this. I started to write this on May 19^th and just got it finished. I’ll blame being involved in too much :)

Day 4 - started later, 10:00 - much easier to get to. As it’s a long weekend and a Saturday, the traffic was light getting down here and there was parking on the street instead of the parking structure.
