Next Meeting
| When: | Wednesday, October 17th, 6:30pm |
| Where: | 421 West Church St Jacksonville, FL 32202 |
| Topic: | Parallelism with Tar & Make |
| Synopsis: | Tar and Make are mainstay tools in an Linux users tool Kit. But what if you could speed them up? Make them faster? This talk will explain how to run these programs multi-threaded and show some benchmarks between single vs multi threading, the performance (speed and file size) between the GZIP, BZIP2, and LZMA and at each compression level, and the difference it can have on build speed of projects. |

Last Meeting
| When: | Wednesday, September 19th, 6:30pm |
| Where: | 421 West Church St Jacksonville, FL 32202 |
| Topic: | How to tame SELinux and make it work for you? |
| Synopsis: | Many of us have instinctively disabled selinux because it's too hard or difficult. Sometimes, we try and get frustrated by the complexity and the constant annoyance of troubleshooting. This meeting will show you how to run selinux like a pro. Tom Gamull is a Solutions Architect for Red Hat and will present on the use of selinux. Learn why you should use it and what it does. He will also show you how to troubleshoot just about any issue so you can configure selinux to work with just about anything. If you've never had much luck with selinux, this meeting is for you. Come out looking like a pro and show off to your friends. |
