[BLUG] Ohio LinuxFest needs your help!

I am currently coordinating volunteers for Ohio LinuxFest and can use
your help!

If you are interested in volunteering and know what you would like to
do, drop me a line with details. If you are interested in volunteering
and are up for anything, drop me a line. If you want to volunteer but
can only spare a couple of hours, drop me a line!

We are most in need of finding help for the check-in desk and for
assisting with the talks (starting/ending on time and fielding
questions), as well as locals to the Columbus area to help transport
folks to & from the airports.

Please send your interest, a phone number and whether you are local to
Columbus to schultmc@ohiolinux.org -- and thanks!

[BLUG] Send me your /etc/crontab run-parts section

Hi. I know some of you are running some more unique distributions out
there. I'm building a table of each distribution's default crontab
section for running hourly, daily, weekly and monthly jobs from cron.
Surprisingly, each distribution made their own choices when it comes to
when to run jobs. You can help me by sending me (not to the list) the
run-parts section of your /etc/crontab (or equivilent) and the name and
version of the distribution its from.

The part that I'm talking about looks like thsi (on Red Hat at least)

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

So far I have the following distributions:

Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora - h01 d402 w422 m442
Debian - h17 d625 w647 m652
Ubuntu - h17 d625 w647 m652
Gentoo - h00 d301 w415 m530 (Runs weeklies on Saturdays)
Slackware - h47 d440 w430 m420

The reason why I'm doing this is because when I have multiple virtual
machines all on one host, I need to stager their default crontabs so
that they don't all run at once, which can cripple the machine. Knowing
about the different distros can help me plan accordingly.

And yes I'll make this public. Thanks for your help.

I'll lend a voice to that.

My father is still happy with a System76 laptop he bought two or three
years ago.

And I'm happy with a System76 desktop that I bought to be my
workstation at work (on which I am currently writing this).
