Topic 1:
Linux Printing with CUPS - we will setup a small network to demonstrate printing to: 1) a local (connected to the workstation) printer, 2) a network printer, and 3) a printer connected to a windows host and sharing a local printer with a lan plus a few CUPS issues
Topic 2:
"Command Line 101" ...a look at and discussion of useful or essential command line commands or operations.
The tentative topic for this month is: "shell expansion" ie: - wildcards etc, - what to do when they fail (xargs, find...|, perl's readdir etc) - scope of expansion (ie what gets passed to the command - esp. if the expansion does not match any entries in the working dir) also practical limits to directory sizes
