Date:		Tues Feb 22nd.
Time:		7-10pm

Presenter:	William Park <opengeometry-FFYn/CNdgSA at public.gmane.org>

Topic:		Linux thin-client and Slackware

		William has developed a Linux thin-client solution,
			http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/thinflash.html
		which boots/runs from a 256MB USB key drive.  It can turn
		any PC into thin-client for Windows and Linux server.

		William will give a demo of his thin-client and describe
		some of the issues faced in this project.
		He will also give a tutorial emphasizing fundamental
		topics including building a root filesystem - a skill
		needed when you are building 'initrd', floppy bootdisk,
		'lilo' loader, installing Linux (particularly Slackware),
		or building bootable USB key drive.


Location:       IBM offices 3600 Steeles Ave East, north side of Steeles
		at Pharmacy/Esna Park (between Victoria Park and Warden)
