Hey guys we have two events in the next few days:

First, tonight, Thursday, Power of Unix. POU is an introduction to some interesting commands that people tend to not know about, or how to use.

Where: 14-301
When: Thursday 1/22/09 7pm
Who: CPLUG Execboard

Saturday we will be having our quarterly Free Your Machine. We will install linux on any machine, although if you have very strange hardware, or your machine can’t run Windows, please contact us beforehand so that we can be prepared.  Please remember that if you wish to dual boot, you need to defragment windows before you come.  See http://cplug.org/fym for more information.

Where: 20-124
When: Saturday 10am to 2pm
Who: Anyone!

Its that time of the quarter again.

Who: You
What: Power of UNIX talk hosted by the Cal Poly Linux Users Group
When: This Wednesday January 30 at 7:30 pm
Where: Computer Science Lab(building 14), rooms 301/302/303
Why: Cal Poly uses Linux/UNIX, Industry uses it and so should you!

We’ll be teaching all of the basics, so come on by, even if you’ve never used Linux/Unix before.

Basic UNIX Commands: http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~vmeyerso/cplug/BasicUnixCommands.pdf

Sorry this is so late, we will get the info up faster next time, just been busy with school and what not.

One of the things many people have been asking for is the ~/.screenrc file that victor uses. Victor learned about it from this Gentoo page. but the file should contain the following:

# use visual bell
vbell on
# replace ctrl-A by ctrl-O
escape ^Oo
# set a big scrolling buffer
defscrollback 5000
# Set the caption on the bottom line
caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"

I hope to get the other info up soon, also we need to finish getting the pages ready. It will happen this quarter, I promise.

Look forward to our SSH talk sometime in November.
