About time for another "meeting" at Yogi's, me thinks.

That may be just what I need. wine-1.1.23-1.fc11.i586 can
now do almost everything with my legacy GPS/topo map suites
*except* the most important : actually swap data with my GPSs --
and sometimes it even does that.
The problem has long seemed to be that wine is pretty
buggy when it comes to serial ports, and my old cables have to
use one. (USB/serial adapters don't cut it.)
Wine 1.0, if not earlier, could install, launch, and run
at least two (fortunately, the two best imnsho) of my suites; but
the connection has long eluded it.
Anybody been playing with such, especially Garmin?
Methinks it and a laptop would be great to have, anywhere South
of Nashville and East of Bedford....

Well, I've been playing with a new text editor that isn't usually seen in
the normal Linux circles called Acme (from Plan 9), and if someone hasn't
already presented on it, I'd be glad to give a presentation of it, if
someone wants a reason to host a meeting. :-)

I've always heard of tmux over screen. But as I understand it, they're
both pretty cool.

I learned something new (to me) about screen recently. Maybe everyone
but me already knew this, but you can connect to a serial port with
it:
stty 9600
screen /dev/ttyS0
Handy when you need to connect to a switch or router or something in a
pinch and don't have a system with minicom or equivalent.

We haven't actually had a meeting in a bit. Normally, at the meetings
somebody (anybody) will present a software package they use (that maybe
the rest of us aren't familiar with), a new distribution they've been
playing with, a new version of something, a new piece of hardware that
works great with Linux, etc.
We have members who are very new to Linux and computers in general, and
we have members who are IT Professionals who work with Linux every day.
BLUG doesn't have much of a structure; there are no "dues" or any
official "membership", and there isn't really a leader. We'll get back
to having meetings again soon (as soon as somebody plans one).
Cheers and welcome to the list,
Cooley
