Some ideas for the meeting topics;<br>
<br>
1. Anthony, could you bring your box that has the acidrip on it? I really
want to get that dvd ripping thing going.<br>
2. For the Debian guys, I am interested in the features for updating packages
that take you out of dependency hell. I am assuming your referring to the
apt package? There is an apt package for RedHat, but I haven't had time to
play with it yet. What I am looking to do is, since I am pretty much married
to RedHat at this point (don't really want to /have the time to, learn a
new distro) is try and use this apt package, if that is what it is, to download
new software without the dependency hell. So, Debian guys, if there is a
new package out there, say distro independent, you have no problem getting
all the required packages with Debian/Apt? I would love to check it out,
someone bring a box with Debian so we can see.<br>
Thanks, see you tomorrow, 1:00-4:00<br>

I had read last fall that apt get had been ported over to RedHat and Mandrake,
and was going to ask JJNeff to give a talk on apt get and urpmi because he
was a Debian user who seemed to be familiar with them, but that's when my
domain name changed, and I lost all my NFLUG messages becuase it took me
a few months to figure out how to get the 'domo to send to the new one. <br>
<br>
So, that sounds good to me.<br>
