Setting up FUSE under Debian

Introduction

Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a technology that allows programs operating in userspace to be mounted in the same way as filesystems based in the kernel can be. This allows a userspace program to interface to all sorts of services, or create completely virtual filesystems through a generic interface back to the kernel. Filesystems currently available via FUSE are listed on their wiki: FUSE wiki: FileSystems.

Get the pre-compiled CentOS from: http://www.centos.org

Or you could compile your own Red Hat Enterprise 3 or 4 Linux by getting all the 100% GPL free-libre-opensource SRPMS from :
ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/3ES/en/os/SRPMS/

BringABox August 2004

Nothing formal (are we ever /really/ formal?), but Steven Walker gave us a few hints on life in Spain and how to get the group recruiting as successfully as the Fuengirola Linux group!
