[TriLUG] makeing a photo server

[Israel J Pattison]

ClarkConnect is a linux distribution maintained by PointClark Networks of 
Toronto. It has been based on RedHat products for a long time. The
3.0release is based on FC2, and the new
3.1 release is based on CentOS 4. 

I have upgraded every time they have come out with a new release, and only 
once did I have a significant problem with my prior settings. I was actually 
amazed how smoothly 2.2 -> 3.0 and 3.0 -> 3.1 upgrades were. Once small 
exception this last time, they replaced ISC DHCP with dnsmasq which required 
a work around (but they provided instructions and alternative packages, so 
it was easy). The 3.1 release notes talk a little bit about the changes from 
RHEL 4 to CC 3.1:

I have always been surprised that CC doesn't get more coverage inside 
TriLUG. Everytime I bring it up someone on the Steering Committee says, 
"...so you're doing a program on it when?" Personally, I think it is the 
very best turnkey gateway/firewall solution for home and small business -- 
but I don't get to say things like that out loud. :)
