PLUG Westside Meeting

> Hello Everyone,
>     I just wanted to send a reminder of the PLUG's West side meeting tonight. 
>  It is at GCC at 17:00 hours.  I apologize for cross posting.  I will also
> have some Cheesecake from Hans and will hopefully remember plates and
> forks!  See the FAQ for location

>    Knoppix is a Debian based Live-on-CD Linux distribution. Just pop it in
> a CD drive, reboot, and you have a fully functional Linux demo, rescue
> disk, backup server or Linux Workstation. Anyone can make a custom Knoppix
> CD to suit their needs. All you need is at least 6GB of hardrive space and
> about 1GB total RAM (physical + swap). A Knoppix disc can also be "branded"
> to promote your LUG, company or product. A simple branding would only
> modify the images and HTML on the original Knoppix disc.

>    This presentation will address the issues involved in making a Custom
>    Knoppix CD as well as branding Knoppix. I will also release some helpful
>    scripts that will aid in these tasks. In fact, to date, I have scripts
>    that enable me to brand a Knoppix disc just by running three scripts on
> a Knoppix ISO (assuming you have the images prepared).

>    Austin is a Faculty Research Associate in the Distributed Operating
>    Systems group at Arizona State University. He has published work on
>    802.11b network security and continues to work in the field among other
>    things. He graduated from ASU in 2000 with a BS in Physics where he
>    received an award for research in nuclear physics.

>    He has used Linux since 1995 (Linux Counter #29452) where he started off
>    with Slackware, moved to Redhat and now has largely switched to Debian
>    (via Knoppix), but is friend to all distributions, editors, programming
>    languages ... and of course ladies ;).

>    Yes, all of the above is true and only slightly exaggerated.
