From TWUUG
March 2008
- Presentation by Mark Davis on the Linux based TiVo HD. Review, comparisons, Linux tools for importing and exporting video and programs (such as tivodecode, galleon, and pytivo).
- Matthew Fillpot gave a presentation on the Enlightenment 17 window manager and how it compares to others, such as KDE, Gnome, Fluxbox, XFCE, etc.
- Joel Kirch handed out Backtrack beta 3 and showed the many security tools that are built into the live CD distro.
- A special treat was that Providence Computers, brought in an Asus EEEPC running, of course, Linux. Quite an impressive little machine.
The meeting WAS audio recorded (the slightly edited version is posted to server 2 in the audio section). Some discs were available. Mark introduced our new six page tri-fold Tri-Fold flier. Andreas Kulbe gave away a monster external SCSI box.
