[FredLUG] Re: Subject ideas for next meeting?

[Chris O'Donnell]

If we don't have an Itunes / Linux guru in Fredericksburg maybe I'll 
just try it and do a presentation at a later meeting on how well (or 
poorly!) it  works.

So another idea...a review of Linux error logs and how to use them to 
troubleshoot when stuff isn't working correctly.
