GNHLUG Quarterly Meeting @ SNHU

I got to attend the Greater New
Hampshire Linux Users Group
last night up at href="http://www.snhu.edu">SNHU. href="http://www.freephile.com/">Greg Rundlett gave a nice talk about
how he uses Linux to manage his photo and music collections as well as
a little discussion about using the gimp<
/a>.
While I prefer
bins for my photos, ne
tjuke
looks very nice for music collections. There is even a
netjuke debian package available.

Christian Rapture on October 28, 1992 -- Photo taken April 14, 2003


Why did they use such long lasting poster material?

I've been driving by this poster for over a decade and finally got around to taking a photo of it. It is at the corner of Daniel Webster Highway and Industrial Drive (Exit 10) in Merrimack, NH.

GPS management software

It is getting time to go geocaching with the kids and that
means time to install GPS managment software on the debian laptop

Don't tell anyone but I've been using the free Windows program
that geocaching.com provides
do download waypoints into the GPS.



apt-get gpsdrive dgpsip gpsman gpstrans



freshmeat mentioned GPS Manager which may be
interesting. Unfortunately no screen shots and requires gpspoint2 which also has a
pretty description-free website. Hard to know if it is worth the
effort to download and compile...

Okay, okay -- I give up. Here is why MSIE really does rule.

But I'm still going to be staying with Galeon and Mozilla running on Linux.

Anyway, check it out -- href="http://craiger.uh.nu/ierules.html">http://craiger.uh.nu/ierules.html

working on the laptop...




apt-get install cupsys cupsomatic-ppd
