G5 iMac - many thanks to Anthony

BringABox October 2004

Another successful meeting, but more new members would be welcome! This time Jay planned to show us package management with Crux and Casper gave us a look at Gentoo's way of doing it (called portage). But Jay's box blew up when a PS/2 keyboard was plugged into the running system. Sad for Jay, but a kind of plus for the rest of us, because we got to see Crux installed on a virgin PC. A surprisingly quick process, considering that Crux is compiled from source and this was on a 200MHz PC.

An informal meeting with Juergen taking us on a tour through Fedora 2. Package management. 

Thanks to Clive's thoughtfulness we all received CDs of [http://WWW.KNOPPIX.NET Knoppix 3.4 which was promptly demo'd by Ian booting it on his laptop and showing that it detected every piece of hardware in sight and even the WiFi access point in the next room!
