[NTLUG:Discuss] Linuxy stuff at the Makerspace

[John Fields]

Tomorrow morning, at Open Source Sat.  FYI!

*Random output about /**dev**/random*
Syed will give a talk because he has become fascinated with this topic and
can't stop talking about it. Like...
- Random numbers, an intro
- Types of RNGs - RNG in linux
- /dev/random vs /dev/urandom
- Testing RNGs with the "ent" tool
- Q & (random) A

If people are interested in deeper dive he can do a second, more technical,
talk we are calling RND() for !Dummies.

*Rolling Releases, here they come!* SolydXK <http://solydxk.com/> is a
prime example if the latest trend in Linux distros. The rolling release
simply means never again installing from scratch. Apps get updated as soon
as they hit the stable repositories, and OS updates happen quarterly. .
Once you setup your desktop, SSH keys, fonts, GPG keys, document structure,
that one off app... It is all still there post update(s). . Discuss!
