Does anybody have some preferences for the dates (either next week: 21st of July, or the week after 28th of July). The presentation will be DHCP and Named by Eric Dondelinger. I for myself won't unfortunately be available of 28th (vacation), but as 21st is too close (or can you be ready for 21st, Eric?) Thx, Alain

File synchronization

by Mike Pressel

Hi gang, does anyone know of a simple way to synchronize a few user directories on two computers? I've thought of using tar to do it, but he tar archive is roughly 3 GB, which is a bit more that I want to mess with. Here is the situation: I have a desktop PC, that is my main computer at the house. It is the one connected to the internet. When at home, I use this PC to do all of my work. My second PC is a laptop. I use the laptop to take on the road and to do work when my wife is using the main PC. Currently I have an identical copy of my home directory on both PCs. Ideally, what I want to be able to do is to synchronize the home directories (basically 2 subfolders in my home directory) automatically. A tar archive could in theory work, but I think it is a bit cumbersome. I am running debian unstable on both systems (yes, I like to live dangerously). Mike

Linux Services

by Mike Pressel

I am currently working on a dissertation for my MBA. I am looking into the Linux services market, trying to get a feel for where it is now and where it is likely to head in the next 3-5 years. Would anyone be willing to speak with me about how your company is using Unix/Linux, what your current plans are for it, and what is holding you back from implementing those plans? I typically need 45 minutes of your time. As I am working with a commercial company on this project, the results will be used for commercial purposes as well as serving as the basis for my dissertation. All comments will be completely anonymous -- there will be no links between comments, individuals, companies, or even countries. Thanks Mike
