[TriLUG] Re: Survey for class focal points

[ALFRED JOHNSON]

All this sounds interesting, and useful. However, I'd like for us to do 
something which we used to do, which is to discuss the BASICS for ALL  
Linux users. For example, the meeting we had on RPMs, clearly 
disappointed a good number of people because it had very little 
PRACTICAL information on using RPMs Instead it focused on the Red Hat 
history and politics of RPM development. If you recall we had an 
overflow crowd that night, but the comments we heard leaving that 
meeting was that a lot of folks were disappointed because they were 
expecting something more practical. I would just like to see somebody 
stand up and in one night give the minimum you need to know to keep  
Linux running on a desktop, without all the fluff. In other words, 
something for the newbies once in a while. If we don't do this, I can 
guarantee you that we'll lose a lot of new members. I've discovered 
that everyone needs to brush up on the basics because the rapid pace of 
Linux software development is literally making everyone a "Linux 
newbie". -- Al Johnson.
