[sf-lug] SF-LUG 2007-09-17 meeting & SF-LUG.COM replacement box (& BALUG)

[jim stockford]

many thanks.
    i propose we get together and huddle over the
box when it gets here and figure out what we'd
like it to be, including OS, RAID and LVM, servers...,
as well as hardware additions.
    My guess is it'll be here early this coming week.
Anyone is welcome to join the huddle as a matter
of learning, fly-on-the-wall style. Remember shell
account policy will change at the point we put the
new box in place.
    There'll be shell accounts available on a different
box very soon after the switch.
