Linux Thin Client Computing using the LTSP
10/03/2002 at 12:00 AM
The open source Linux Terminal Server Project (http://www.ltsp.org/) has put together some easy to use packages that make use of the remote desktop facilities built into X that allow you to create simple and inexpensive thin client solutions using Linux.
Programs run on the central server, but are displayed on the desktops of disk less client systems that boot from the network. The clients can be striped down thin client computers, or just recycled older desktop systems. The result is simmalr to Ctrix or MS Terminal server, but with better perfomance and stability, at a fraction of the cost!
I will go over the theory of how it all works, and show how to configure the server. Then we will boot up a client and try out some desktop applications to see how well it performs.

High Speed Internet
06/06/2002 at 12:00 AM
The Whatcom Co PUD will address blug members at our monthly meeting on Thur at BTC.
The PUD has been working a project to bring high speed TCP/IP connections to all of Whatcom Co using fiber in urban areas and wireless in rural areas. The PUD recently purchased the Avista fiber ring around Bellingham and is also making arrangements with the Port of Bellingham to ride their fiber.
Two people from the PUD Co will attend our meeting on Thur at BTC to tell us about the project. One person will answer business and policy questions, Mike Fournier or John Gargett, and the other person, Carl Rosevear, will answer technical questions. Carl worked on the original NOANET BPA project and has a lot of relevant experience.
There are a lot more people on the blug list than normally attend meetings and a large number of you work in computer related jobs for your employer or your own company. This is a great opportunity to ask specific questions of the people in charge.
If you work for a company that has expressed interest in the PUD project, perhaps this qualifies as work? See if you can get paid to attend.
Sssslithering around in Jython
05/07/2002 at 12:00 AM
A synopsis of Jython – an implementation of Python in Java. Python is an O-O rapid prototyping language which plays very nicely with 3rd gen languages such as C/C++ and Java. Java is a modern high-level O-O language whose biggest appeal is it’s cross platform capabilities. This talk will discuss the features of both Python and Java and how it can help you RAD’ly develop anything from scripts to client gui’s to server side components to full blown servers.
