   Note we are now meeting on Wednesdays! Since March 2010, we moved to the
   fourth Wednesday of each month (except in November and December, when we
   will meet on the second Wednesday to avoid holiday conflicts). The meeting

   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

  Work smarter, not harder: Tools and Techniques to Make a Sysadmin's Life
  Easier.

   Sysadmins have enough to do. Working smarter, not harder, is the best way
   to making your life as a sysadmin easier. Bill will discuss tools and
   techniques that will help you stop running from task to task, save time,
   and make you a hero to your users and customers. Tools like PXE booting,
   kickstart, package management, and source file control will be discussed,
   along with tips and techniques that will help keep you sane.

  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.
