recap of 2007-May meeting

Thanx for all who came to this month's CSUEB LUG meeting.

Recap:

Welcome Cagdas and Eric!

Cagdas runs openSUSE. Peter dabbles with Gentoo. Eddy is tempted by the vibrant Ubuntu community.

Shohei Azuma talked about VMware + Qemu-img and showed how he hosted Windows XP on top of Ubuntu Feisty. I found out that:

• vmware-tools will "forward" my toggling of the emulated hardware to the guest OS.
• VMware Player doesn't play Windows Vista very well.
• I should be paying attention to memsize settings in .vmx files to not choke my host OS.
• VMware seems to run very well under Windows. Hm....

Eddy Mulyono talked about using Revelation to manage passwords. Some interesting points:

• Revelation for Windows: I thought there was such a thing. I dug, and found none. So I lied.

Eddy Mulyono talked about using GIMP to create Hackergotchis. The "volunteer" is Little by Little.

Hilary talked about her experience updating Fedora 5 to 6 using Yum.

• FedoraProject.org says "Don't!".
• rpm -qf yum-utils
• Don't upgrade everything. Upgrade chunks at a time.

We decided to experiment, moving our meetings from 2-4pm on 3rd Saturdays to 5-6pm on 3rd Fridays. No meeting for June due to finals/break. Next meeting is 2007-July-20th.
