Meeting 10-10-2000 - Package Management

[listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This presentation will discuss what's involved in downloading and
installing software on your Linux system. Bruce will talk about the two
most popular package formats, RPM files and TAR files. Bruce has no
experience with, and thus will not discuss the Debian format, DEB files.
However, if someone else is familiar with the DEB format, it would make
a great follow-up presentation, and the speaker will also receive a free
CD! 

Bruce Smith is a Systems Administrator and Software Developer for
Armstrong International Inc. where he is responsible for a HP-UX network
of Servers, Workstations, printers and X-Terminals spanning five
buildings in Three Rivers. Bruce has a degree in Computer Science and
Mathematics from Central Michigan University. (go Chips! :) Bruce runs
Linux, almost exclusively, on all his PC's at work and home, and runs a
lot of Armstrong's networking services on Linux!
