<p>Mgallott: Initial page</p>
<hr />
<div>On Saturday 1 May, the Linux Enthusiasts Group are meeting in Stellenbosch from 11:00-16:00 to celebrate the latest Ubuntu release, Lucid Lynx, and we will be joining them. There will be interesting talks on open source software, an opportunity to get help installing Lucid and fixing any problems, followed by a braai. We are trying to get a shuttle to take us to Stellenbosch. This will be a good opportunity to meet others interested in programming and technology, or even to find team members for the next ACM ICPC. If you might attend, add your email address below and we will send you final details closer to the time.<br />

<p>Mgallott: added packages for image that we used in SACO</p>
<hr />
<div>== TSL Todo list ==<br />
<br />
* Shorten / tie up flyleads<br />
* Provide tied down flyleads in the laptop areas (areas without PCs)<br />
* Build new image & re-image computers<br />
* Install replaced / fixed computers<br />
<br />
== Current problems ==<br />
;Network Sockets: SLAB013 SLAB016.<br />
;Power Sockets: pc48<br />
;Bad Images: 1,2,3,5,12,14,17,20,44,45,47,70,74<br />
;Grub broken: 7, 8, 9, 12, 23, 35<br />
<br />
== Image ==<br />
<br />
This is the list of packages we used for the SACO live DVD I recently put together. We probably want to remove some stuff (e.g. apache? mysql-server?) and add some other stuff (e.g. kde?), but it's a starting point.<br />
<br />
For the SACO, we've guaranteed the following so would need them at the specified versions:<br />
<br />
GCC 4.1<br />
KDevelop<br />
Java JDK 1.6 (Sun's one)<br />
Eclipse<br />
Python 2.5<br />
IDLE<br />
