[NTLUG:Discuss] More on Spring Cleaning...

[Christopher Cox]

So far... (come to the meeting to pick up please).  Or let me know if you want 
to come by the house and browse at stuff.  I've got printers, I've got serial 
console switches (Cyclades/Avocent TS-2000), etc.  I've got fibre channel 
boards.... shoot, I've got FC SAN storage devices...


Gil B. - PATA drives (I have to do some work on these, so these will NOT be 
present at this Saturday's meeting)

Ralph G. - PATA drives (a mess load of identical 250G) and laptop drives 
(various sizes), Sed & Awk book, Insignia Pilot (I love that device, yes it does 
OGG, and video and has bluetooth... and it's TINY and support full size SDHC 
card that fits totally inside when inserted... awesome travel device) and 
4x1024M PC3200 Reg ECC memory.

Richard P. - LSI U320 and the LSI U320-2X (both are killer RAID boards) and DNS 
and BIND 4th Ed. (everyone should own a copy).

I'm also bringing a dual channel LSI SCSI PCI-X (not full HW RAID), an ATTO PCI 
SCSI board and  a Radeon HD 6950 (this won't work with your machine unless you 
know how to power a high end video board... ok?)... oh... and an 8 port Linksys 
10/100 switch.

I'll also bring.. maybe for a giveaway prize my 4 bay AIBY HW RAID subsystem 
with 4 x 300GB drives... just attach to an external SCSI port and instant RAID.
One of my most favorite devices.  And it's small enough to go on a desk.  As 
mentioned earlier, this device put up an average performance of over 104MB/sec 
with sequential block reads over 275MB/sec and sequential block writes over 
203MB/sec. with single client IOPS of 1450 (that's better than a lot of mid-tier 
RAID subsystems on the market even today).

See you at the meeting....

I have no idea what the presentation will be.  But I do want to do a shout out 
for Cory who is ready (pretty much) to do the ESX training class... we just need 
to figure out a good month (we can discuss, I'm sure Cory will want the input).

I just installed Syberia II under wine... time for some adventure gaming...

I did find my CD for Tux Racer (no.. not the crummy free one, this is the very 
nicely done one that you had to buy.. I just need to find the patches for it...)
Maybe it will show up at a future meeting...
