General Meeting on Wednesday - 8 September 2010
The St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) general meetings are usually on the second Wednesday of each month.

The basic session will be UNIX Toolbox by Jerry Stutte.
The "Unix Tool Box" is a collection of Unix/Linux/BSD commands and tasks which are useful for IT work or for advanced users. This is a practical guide with concise explanations, however the reader is supposed to know what s/he is doing. With its menu structure, it provides an excellent resource for beginners and advanced users.

Jerry Stutte has gone 73 days without a security incident. He should run rkhunter and tiger.

Our main event will be vim by Bill Odom.
This presentaion on the "Vi IMproved" text editor is much more than a tutorial. It has two major goals:
* Give people who'd never used vim before an idea of its power, and whet their appetites so they'd want to learn more.
* Show more experienced vim users one or more new features, techniques, or tricks that they could use immediately.
A tutorial wouldn't do much to convince the first group that vim was worth their time, and a tutorial would've just bored the second. With that said, there's a lot of desire for solid tutorial content from people that are already convinced that vim is something they want to better understand. With enough interest, we may expect many short focused vim tutorials.

Bill Odom builds left handed widgets, which he discards because he is right handed. Or is it the other way around?
