Chester LUG Blog

Last night saw the LUG’s first Tech Meet and hopefully there will be many more to come!  There was a good turn out and hopefully everyone enjoyed it and got something useful out of it.  Thanks for everyone who contributed to the evening.

I’ve included some handy links for the topics discussed last night if you fancy having a play with any of them.

Git

http://git-scm.com/ – check out the Wiki for some great introductory documentation

ZFS

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/demos/basics/ – a good intro video (shown on the night)

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS/ – install it on Ubuntu

http://www.lildude.co.uk/zfs-cheatsheet/ – a handy cheatsheet

OpenVZ

http://wiki.openvz.org/Main_Page – OpenVZ home

CrunchBang Linux

http://crunchbanglinux.org/ – Ubuntu for techies?!

We’ll be holding more Tech Meets as we build up enough topics and volunteers to demo.  If you’ve discovered a new distro, technology or gadget come and share your experiences – good or bad.  You don’t have to be an expert, just show what you know!

Welcome to the new Chester LUG blog!  Keep an eye on this space for ideas, experiences and questions from the LUG members.
