[olug] OLUG September meeting & other events reminder

[OBrien, Timothy (Omaha Linux Users Group - OLUG)]

Reminder: The next OLUG meeting will be held on the first Tuesday of
September 2004 (7 September 2004) with the following agenda:

First, our presentation: Linux on Xboxes, by Aaron Grothe

Microsoft's Xbox game console is largely a PC in disguise.  A lot of
people became curious if it would be possible to install Linux on such a
box instead of the version of Windows 2000 that came with the machine.  A
lot of work later and it is possible and quite easy to get a
Microsoft-subsidized PC to run Linux on.  Several methods of modifying the
Xbox to run Linux will be discussed (Software or Mod Chip) and a simple
installation using the Mechassault buffer overflow will be shown.


Aaron Grothe is the former President/CEO of Heimdall Linux, a Linux
company that was developing a Common Criteria evaluated version of
GNU/Linux several years ago.  Mr. Grothe has lately been spending his time
working for the Man in a variety of jobs (Sys/Admin, DBA, etc) and
planning his NBI (Next Big Idea).


Second: OLUG Q & A
Have a question? Problem? Something still not working after the Install
fest? Bring them up during the OLUG Q & A!
