LUGS debate tax time, free BBC content online, hosting Linux swap on LVM, and more.
January featured the usually eclectic mix of LUG discussions in Europe and in North America. Topics covered everything from electronic tax filing software to network configuration, discussions of the design of the RFID technology used on the more recent London Underground subway transportation tickets, and a BBC plan to support Microsoft’s proprietary formats in a new online streaming service. There were, of course, the usual recurring themes – Linux on the desktop (including where to buy a Linux Desktop computer in Australia), Asterisk server configuration, and building proprietary Linux kernel drivers for unsupported hardware. The OLPC Project (One Laptop Per Child) announced more fun, too.
