   bring a potluck item to share.

   Agenda:

     * 6:00 PM Potluck snacks
     * 6:15 PM Free book giveaways or other prizes
     * 6:30 PM Presentation begins
     * 8:00 PM Meeting ends

  Linux Configuration and Diagnostics: Tips and Tricks

   I will suggest best practices for running Linux in production in
   real-world environments. I'll offer advice on how to set up servers so as
   to simplify diagnosis and resolution of problems. Listeners will learn how
   to optimize kernel configurations and parameter tuning, and how to use
   open-source diagnostic tools and best practices that enable fixing of
   problems the first time they occur. Greg will review recommendations for
   generating entropy, for reading Enterprise Linux release notes, and for
   interpretation of system core files.

  Greg Marsden

   Greg is the Enterprise Linux Development Manager for Oracle.

RSVP

  Although it is not required, we like to have an idea of how many
  people to expect, so if possible please email rsvp at penlug.org if you
  are planning to attend.

  Traffic on 101 can be pretty bad in the evening, so we encourage you
  to check traffic conditions before driving by dialing 5-1-1 on your
  phone or visiting www.511.org, and if possible to take public transit
  (best bet: bicycle via Caltrain) or carpool to this meeting.
