[BLUG] another call out for Unix sysadmin work

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I thought I'd put another call out for Unix sysadmins... We are
becoming desperate as we only have one applicant. Please apply if you
are looking for work and have a decent Unix background - the pay is
good for IU.

Contact me if you have any questions...

[BLUG] Announcement

Dear fellow Linux geeks,
My wife and I are moving back to Texas around Jan 1st due to her
health. I won't be complaining about the warmer weather though. Mark
Krenz has agreed to take over the role of President for the time being
until a more permanent President/Dictator can be found.

I would like to thank everyone for the great time I have had being
involved in BLUG. While I will still be on the mailing lists, I will
miss seeing everyone in person at the various events. My hope is to
take some of the energy and ideas that I have gotten from BLUG members
and use it to help grow the West Texas LUG in Abilene.

Now, a round of applause for your new President Mark Krenz. <cue cheesy
hail to the chief music>

Thank you,
Scott Blaydes

[BLUG] Looking to hire Unix admins

Hello,

The group where I'm working in currently at IU is looking for two new
mail admins:

http://www.indiana.edu/~uitshr/services/jobs/PrinSoft_Messaging_13648_internal.html
http://www.indiana.edu/~uitshr/services/jobs/Messaging_4981.html

(the first job posting is internal to IU only)


There is much that can be said about the job, but in short we are at
the top of the Unix geek totem pole here, and the pay here is just
about as high as you'll get at an IU job doing technical stuff. That
being said, don't let this scare you off from applying. It is very
rare that we find a candidate that is a just-add-water solution that
perfectly fits these requirements, so please apply apply apply!

Please let me know if you have any questions I can answer, I'd prefer
to do so privately :)

Re: [BLUG] OLPC

The one from Red Hat hasn't been updates in over 6 months.

A much more up-to-date one is available. There is an Xubuntu based one
that works on all the hardware we've tested it on
<http://startx.ro/sugar/> (which is neat because if you log out of the
X session they log you into by default, you change the session and log
directly into Sugar, otherwise you can run the emulator from the
Applications menu from within XFCE).

And there's a more recent one, based directly on the Red Hat builds it
seems, which we HAVEN'T gotten to work on the hardware we've tested it
on. It might work for you, though:
<ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/>

Hope you have an awesome day!

[BLUG] OLPC

As for the One Laptop Per Child project, I hopefully will have scraped together enough for one (2 of course) by 12/31 (the deadline for the buy one get one deal) and should have recieved it in time for the february meeting. Also it runs is a lightweight, redhat engineered, linux based OS called Sugar; which is available as an ISO here:

That's all the news from Lake Wobegon,
