Hey, there!
I teach computer class at Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, myself.
Out of curiosity, was/is Noblesville involved at all with the Indiana ACCESS program which provides Linux-based...
I've recently (within the past few years, anyhow) been living in Fort Wayne, myself.
I'm glad to hear your install went well and I hope you've been able to make some progress ironing out those...
Welcome aboard, Steve!
I, myself have been using Ubuntu for a little over three years.
Greetings!
Re: using the forums to get help. You would probably have more luck opening your own thread, perhaps in this team's forum, with a subject line related to your problem, rather than in...
@illustria,
Welcome aboard! I'm sorry to say I'm not in the Purdue area, nor do I have any experience setting computers to work on their network.
There are several people in the forums who...
Welcome aboard, cptrohn and pontones!
It's great to see more hoosiers popping out of the woodwork! :-)
That's great!
If you haven't let proprietary software dig its claws into you yet,...
That's really cool!
I work in the education space, and I'm guessing that migrating a small business over to Ubuntu would be a lot easier than migrating a school.
I don't think I've spotted it...
I second the Ohio LinuxFest.
If any conference could be considered "the" conference that we, as a LoCo, attend, OLF would be the one.
Hello, and welcome aboard!
I don't think no one is interested.
In an all-volunteer organization like ours, the level of activity will ebb and flow depending on how much free time we, the...
@gimcrack:
Awesome! Welcome aboard.
I myself have been almost an almost pure Linux user for about 3 years, now. I haven't done quite so much distro hopping as you, just a little bit here and...
It's cool to heard that an Evansville LUG is taking off; apparently with a strong Ubuntu presence?
I tried to check out the site, but there seems to be some sort of PHP error accessing the...
@bjmc: Cool! Well, welcome aboard! We're glad to have you. I'm usually on the mailing lists myself, though I try to take a stroll through the forums from time to time.
@hypert: Maybe if you could...
Re: A better way to view the partition table.
You mean like Gparted? ("sudo apt-get install gparted")
You still run it as root, though. Only root has access to those disk sectors, I believe.
Careful with using dd to back up a partition table, dd is a very low level tool.
The command lines I gave earlier were for backing up a /entire disk/ bit-by-bit so if you screw something up you...
Indeed!
We're just a bunch of Linux users who get together a couple of times a month. We also use each other as tech support, and chat about Linuxy stuff on our mailing list, your can join it real...
@thestig_992: Hey, I was in the same boat as you a few minutes ago and found you on the forums asking my very question.
I had accidently wiped out the partition table on an old hard disk that had...
@mickey46834:
Hello!
I myself started with an old Epson QX-10 ( w/ mbasic ;-) ), moved up from CP/M to DOS to Windows and finally to Linux.
I was also getting pretty annoyed and cynical...
@warped4sure: I must confess I know little about lynx or elinks. I only mentioned lynx because it's the cli browser I hear most about.
Very strange re: Dapper having better hardware support for...
@gmarcom, Welcome aboard!
I myself am from Fort Wayne.
You ever gotten a hold of the Fort Wayne Linux Users' Group?
Cool. My wife is coming with, as well.
She had an absolute BLAST last year.
@warped4sure:
Hello!
Do you mean lynx? I work on the command-line a lot myself—I'm a system administrator—and I'm sorry to say I've yet to learn my way around lynx much. It's been on my to do...
@Travis,
Yeah, I had a dual-boot somewhere to run a couple of games I'd bought recently. It wasn't too long before I found that I wasn't booting into it much at all anymore, myself.
Welcome...
@michaelkahl:
Hello and Welcome!
Learning Debian will definitely help you understand Ubuntu.
Distros like Gentoo, Slackware, and Arch can be an even more low-level education in Linux.
...
I'll be going out on Thursday night, attending OLFU on Friday (Time Management for System Administrators and LPI Cram, methinks), the conference proper on Saturday and coming home on Sunday.
If...
Midwest-Linux,
I don't really know, myself. I would guess that the Ohio LoCo would be the place to ask about people in Cincinnati.
