18:00 -- 21:00 NEWLUG ~ Newcomer Linux Users Group
https://newlug.sluug.org/
A Linux Users Group for the newcomer.
St. Louis County Library ~ Prairie Commons Branch
915 Utz Lane,
Hazelwood MO 63042-2739
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
One on one help for anyone curious about or new to Linux. All
meetings are free and open to the public.
TOPICS?
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the room may select the topic.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving and effective techniques.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.
Order of Events:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
Users that bring their laptops (or even desktops) often connect to the
Internet for application installation and bookmarking of interesting web
sites. Early arrival may provide enough time to assist installation,
configuration and demonstration of Linux on hardware. The library will
not provide us with monitors, keyboards, power strips or computer mice.
Come early, come often!

It’s the monthly mtng of the StL Linux User Group (i.e. LUG)!

Thurs 17 Oct '19
TWO short topics by Ken Johnson:
logrotate (Debian-style);
private DNS servers with dnsmasq.
The logrotate facility keeps your logfiles in check: you can add files beyond those configured by your distribution.
Internal DNS servers can: cache lookups, provide internal vs. external addresses for network resources, and/or work with DHCP to provide local name and IP address translation.
Dnsmasq provides Domain Name System (DNS) forwarder, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, router advertisement and network boot features for small computer networks, created as free software.[4][5]
Dnsmasq has low requirements for system resources,[6][7] can run on Linux, BSDs, Android and OS X, and is included in most Linux distributions. Consequently it "is present in a lot of home routers and certain Internet of Things gadgets"[4] and is included in Android.[5]. For 18 yrs...

==================================
BASIC/tutorial: Command Line History by David Forrest
Bang (!) is an affectionate way of referring to the GNU History library, or history command. The library contains a structured array of previous command lines, containing entry number, timestamp, commands and arguments, and tokenized stream editor commands a la sed.
These sessions might show factors common with both personal and enterprise computing.
=======================================
MAIN: AMP stack on non-Linux systems
Installing, Configuring, and Using
by Lee Lammert
Extract from Wikipedia coverage of LAMP :
LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is an archetypal model of web service stacks, named as an acronym of the names of its original four open-source components: the Linux operating system, the Apache HTTP Server, the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), and the PHP programming language. The LAMP components are largely interchangeable and not limited to the original selection. As a solution stack, LAMP is suitable for building dynamic web sites and web applications.[
Since its creation, the LAMP model has been adapted to other componentry, though typically consisting of free and open-source software. For example, an equivalent installation on the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems is known as WAMP and an equivalent installation on macOS is known as MAMP.
==================================
SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.
We usually start the general meeting with a basic session, which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we take a break before our main event.

18:00 -- 21:00 SLACC ~ St. Louis Area Computer Club
https://slacc.sluug.org/
Linux Configuration Workshop
** *Bring a computer and Install Linux* **
St. Louis County Library, Thornhill Branch,
12863 Willowyck Drive,
St. Louis, MO 63146
The Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest, longest enduring, continuously meeting personal
computer organization active in Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
We often hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no
other event or activity scheduled.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides many fully functional applications that
perform well on both older and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and provides an
extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high priced proprietary software.
The workshop is where we usually examine, fix, repair, and troubleshoot, difficult hardware and software
configuration problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also
frequently fixed. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it.
Bring your laptop or desktop PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network
connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. Just remember to bring your laptop and power strip or your
desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two discs or a flash thumb drive.
For newcomers, we can evaluate your hardware and current Operating System setup. If we determine there is
sufficient time, we can perform a complete functioning Linux installation.
