Topic 1:

Linux Printing with CUPS
- we will setup a small network to demonstrate printing to:
  1) a local (connected to the workstation) printer,
  2) a network printer, and
  3) a printer connected to a windows host
  and sharing a local printer with a lan
  plus a few CUPS issues

Topic 2:

"Command Line 101"  ...a look at and discussion of useful or essential
command line commands or operations.

The tentative topic for this month is:
"shell expansion"  ie:
- wildcards etc,
- what to do when they fail (xargs, find...|, perl's readdir etc)
- scope of expansion (ie what gets passed to the command - esp. if the
  expansion does not match any entries in the working dir)
also practical limits to directory sizes


Presenter(s):
1) Paul Mora <pmora-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org> and
2) Matt Rice <matt-s/rLXaiAEBtBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org>


Location:
