It all sounds good to me. I get a lot out if simply watching people use their Linux computers. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go. I'm at a booth for the Science & Engineering Festival all weekend.
 I highly recommend people attend if they can. What little I could see of the other exhibits was great; creepy crawlies, minerals, simulators, fighter jets, great speakers, etc. They also have science cheerleaders!
 Have a great meeting.

I am thinking that focusing on basic Linux user stuff for now and then go into the more technical stuff would perhaps be more beneficial.  Maybe basic commands, YUM, LVM, user management, mounting other file systems.  I think a good goal for tomorrow may be to come up with a schedule that we can put on the website that covers the next few months of meetings.
 

Anyone else with thoughts?

 Ok folks - as usual this is posted at least 2-3 days late. A very bad habit of mine to do things in the very last minute - but here goes and hopefully I can learn to do this with time to spare next month.
 
 I've looked at the many topics that was suggested for our meetings on "The ABC of Linux" as I've come to think of it. Here's the list organized into some manageble categories. I'll like to kick off tomorrow's meeting with an overview of the topics and it's my hope that those who show up can weigh in on how we do this.
 
 I'll bring an old desktop and prepare to talk about computers tomorrow - or rather the most common components of a traditional boot of Linux which will cover Grub, initrd (initramfs), the kernel, and initscripts. The point here is to set the foundation for the more detailed presentations to come. Who should talk about what - well, speak up folks :)
 
    Boot process
 
        Bios
 
        Grub / lilo
 
        kernel
 
        initrd / initramfs
 
        init script
 
    Basic Linux Commands
