After months of intending to do something, but never getting around to it, the OSLUG news system is now run by WordPress. This adds spiffy things like RSS feeds and in the future searching and comments.

On Friday, July 8th at 6:30 PM in Milam Auditorium (MLM 026) the Oregon State Linux Users Group is presenting Revolution OS, a documentary on GNU, Linux, and assorted things in between. Doors Unlock at 6. Stick around after the show for a brief discussion on what you like/dislike and agree/disagree with. Should be good times :-)

The Standard Summary:

• What: Revolution OS
• When: Friday, July 8th, 6:30 PM
• Where: Milam Auditorium (MLM 026)
• Who: Everyone! We have a really big room with a really big screen
• Why: Hear interviews with many of the people who have built the GNU system and the Linux kernel. Learn about the Linux world if you are new.
  Have fun if you already know it all.

See you there!

This page brought to you by our new webserver, twist.osuosl.org!

Thanks to the contributions of several community members this site is now hosted on a dual 1GHz Pentium III server with 512 MB of ram and 10K RPM SCSI disks. Maybe now we will survive the traffic better next time we do something cool. So bring it on!

Donors include:

• Eric Betts: Donated the PIII box and started it all. :-)
• Buffalo Technology: the memory devision has a good RMA department.
• OSU Open Source Lab: Added a 36 GB SCSI disk.
• Karl Vollmer: Tracked down a couple 18 GB SCSI disks.
• Quentin Hartman: Donated a whole bunch of SCSI cables and a hot swap drive bay.

The old webserver, oliver.osuosl.org, will remain in use as a backup machine.

Thanks again to everyone who helped!
