p2pnet talks to Scott �sk0t� McCausland
by Julie 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

http://www.p2pnet.net/story/13147 Jon Newton is an on-line friend of mine. I've been helping him a bit with Linux. I'm the reason he has Linux on his site. When I found out he was interested in Linux I showed him how to find a LUG near where he lives and gave him the other info I have about Linux, including a bit of what I've learned from some of you at the KC-LUG meetings. I think...OOOOPS! that some of you may find this article, along with the message threads to it, somewhat intriguing. Julie @};- BTW: Y'all missed a GREAT Pow Wow!!!

Hello Kitty?
by Earle Beason 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

For the daughter, she quite the girly-girl, and infatuated with pink. Think about from this perspective, eye-candy to get her to want to use it, even though it's a linux based system. Because she likes the color and the glitz, she will use it over the black microsoft system.

Whither ITEC?
by Monty J. Harder 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

I got an email a little while ago from the folks responsible for ITEC, which led me to this page, which shows Exhibitors: http://pages.crosstechmedia.com/WebSite/HtmlPage.aspx?S=50000093&C=70000087… We aren't mentioned yet. Who had contact with them last time? Heard anything yet? Can we get a few hundred Ubuntu CDs again? . . .

Re: At least now I know why I haven't been able to torrent lately. OR: Anyone know any good ISPs?

Time Warner IS Roadrunner. There are very few places where you can have either cable service in the KC metro area (it's a controlled monopoly). DSL may not be an option, because of your location. Everest is the same way (not available everywhere). If there was competition, it wouldn't be so high. I am screwed. But even my brother would prefer that choice, as his two choices are dialup and satelite. (outside of Pleasant Hill, the WRONG way, from all the buildup). I haven't tried it yet, but you might look up encrypting Bittorrent traffic. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "feba thatl" <febaen(a)gmail.com> > http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/21/comcast-is-starting-the-tiered-inter… > hether-we-like-it-or-not > > Just saw this earlier.
