THIS WEEK… ACTUALLY…WEDNESDAY nite: The monthly SLUUG general mtng at Graybar! This month featuring: ------------------------------- BASE BSD's Kinky Boots process by Brian Bilgere This will be a quick introduction and comparison of Unix/Linux boots. Well, something called Kinky Boots. No, not the musical play at The Muny but rather a look at BSD's booting process vs Linux's GRUB2 boot process. MAIN Managing system backups with GIT by Lee Lammert Many folks don't use git to manage systems because git is thought to be complicated, ...this presentation will refute that theory and show how simple it actually is to backup your system configuration (and anything else) with git! Information from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git> 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. Meetings are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30PM to 9:00PM. The base/tutorial session is at 6:30. There are announcements and a general Q&A about anything at ~7pm. A short break to socialize & stretch and then the Main talk at ~ 7:30pm VENUE Graybar Electric Co., Inc. 11885 Lackland Road, Maryland Heights, MO 63146 ======================================= Also this THURS, SLUUG’s SLACC (StL Area Computer Club) meets from 6-9pm.
