| Installfest in Edmonton: September 15 and 16, 2006 |
AdamWG writes "Liberating Students Digitally,
an open source software advocate and user group at the University of
Alberta, will be holding our third annual Fall Installfest on September
15 and 16, 2006. This year's 'fest will take place in the first-floor
common area of the Computing Science Centre, a space provided by our
partners for the installfest, the Undergraudate Association of Computing Science.
Our "default" distro this time around will be Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper
Drake), but as always we're open to special requests of all sorts.
We're also planning to have a couple of demo machines for people to
play with, and some informational displays to raise awareness of free
and open source software. As usual, we'll be providing monitors, mice,
keyboards, speakers, etc. for installs, so all you need to lug is your
laptop or tower.
We're looking for volunteers, so if you're interested and will be in
Edmonton come September, we'd love to hear from you. The plan is to
have an online registration system up soon, but if you don't want to
wait for that, feel free to send us an email. Full details are on our
(frequently updated) website, http://www.digital-liberation.ca."

| Autopackage: easy way to manage packages in any linux! |
|
haxhia writes "I've read about autopackage when it was released, but didn't make much of it since I had gentoo managing my packages nicely. Tonight, somehow I stumbled upon it again. In the mainpage I saw a try it link, so I thought to myself why not. I went to the "try it" page and downloaded a .package file. Changed the permissions ( chmod u+x .package ) then executed it from the command line. It did some stuff then it said it needs something from internet. I allowed it by typing Y and off it went. It apparantly downloaded and somehow rather installed autopackage, then it started to install the package of my choice -- inkscape. It finished the installation and just like it said, inkscape was in my gnome menu under graphics. I was really shocked how simple it was, and to be honest I didn't believe it. So just to confirm this I download 2 more .package files and installed those too. They all worked. Damn I thought, this is like...umm what's the word....really sweet.
Anyway, I encourage all of you to try it."

| Debian GNU/Linux - Not Just Another Pretty Face |
|
Frank writes " Debian is not quite like any other distro out there. If bigger is better, then Debian wins hands down. Aside from having the largest collection of free software packages, Debian also runs on 11 platforms. But there is more to Debian than just size. Travel writer and recent Debian convert Robert Storey tackles the whole installation procedure head on and gives his report below. This is an excellant guide for new installs. link here"
