SEMiSLUG Notes
9 December 1999
Question & Answer Sessions
- Jobs wanted/needed? Sysadmin? AA? Detroit? Devo?
- Malka is looking for an entry-level sysadmin position. (Talk to Jason
Larke at UUnet. UofM is also a good place.)
- Looking for a group to validate ASAM (German automotive standards
committee) standards. ITI would have been ideal, but who now?
- If so, contact Bill Debs (bill@fwd.mystery.com).
- VA Linux for $30 -- has anyone managed to get the IPO at that price? If
so, are they buying tonight.
- Nope. Sorry.
- Recommendations for CDR/W for a PC?
- HP. Yamaha. Anything else may useful for turning out coasters.
Spend the extra bucks for SCSI, if possible.
- Recommentations for inexpensive PCMCIA wireless stuff?
- WaveLan cards come highly recommended.
- Good paging software? (Hylafax doesn't count.)
- Use sendpage, but not the one that comes with Hylafax. Write to
Gabe; ask him where to get it. (Or ask him to mail it.)
