Fun CPLUG Get-Together

Posted at 10:20 by Eric

We had another ad-hoc CPLUG get-together last night. This time, it was labeled as a "New User Meeting". Not that this kept the hordes of experiences users from coming along with newer users. And not that new users don't come to the regular meetings. And not that there aren't plenty of new user questions, and eager answers, at regular meetings. As I said, it's just another excuse for a meeting, and particularly when you put free food and drinks on the menu, we'll happily show up :-)

Some topics which were discussed are:

Freevo - This is a free package that provides Tivo-ish functionality, along with being able to view/play most of the common media file formats.
apt-rpm - Apt, but for RPM files. There's a lot of people who like this, though I'm personally a fan of AutoUpdate.
Resource Monitoring Tools - We had a good discussion on viewing memory usage of programs, and the difference between RSS and Share as seen in "top"

Weekdays are still bad for some people though, perhaps we'll have to do something similar on a weekend in the near future.
