What!

BASE: Newcomer Resources

by Stan Reichardt

A view of an ongoing effort to provide newcomers to Linux with audio, video and written information. Whatever the newest user needs to know.

This session might show factors common with both personal and enterprise computing.

To Be Rescheduled: Carolyn Peters at a later date "Intro to Bash Scripting (and how to exit vim)".

MAIN: Lynis Security Auditing Software

by Dave Forrest

Lynis is an extensible security audit tool for computer systems running Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, OpenBSD, Solaris, and other Unix-derivatives. It assists system administrators and security professionals with scanning a system and its security defenses, with the final goal being system hardening.

This was previously presented here in September 2018. Combining usage and the latest Lynis software upgrades brings us to better understanding.

The wizard is at it again!

Magic, smoke and mirrors.

Monthly Meetings

We open the room for the general meeting about 6:00 PM. Then we start at 6:30 PM with our BASE introductory level session (usually focused on personal computing); which may include either amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries, superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space.

Sometime after 7:00 PM we get to a quick welcome, introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP (Questions and Answers) segment.

Sometime after 7:30 PM, we may take a short break before our MAIN topic (usually focused on enterprise computing),

All of our meetings are free and open to the public. There is no individual membership fee.
