Meeting Start Time: 3:35 pm
Number of attendees: 9

We started the meeting off with a rousing discussion on the topic of computer 
magazines.  Tom brought in a copy of BYTE magazine which had an article in it 
about Linux, after a bit of discussion, the topic turned to Java, and weather 
or not it is worth the trouble.  Adam, and myself have been trying to get the 
Java version of a program called ICQ working. The system requirements for this 
particular program while running in Java includes having 32 megs of RAM!

A presentation on hard drive partitioning had been scheduled for this meeting, 
but after a little informal vote, we switched it to configuring X Windows.  
Bruce gave a very informative presentation on the topic, and we all learned 
alot.  If anyone has any questions about the presentation, be sure to ask 
Bruce, he's the guy with the answers =)

It's time to start scheduling our presentations for the coming meetings.  
Everyone should have a list of the topics we came up with, if you don't have 
one, please email me and I will send you a copy.  Some people have already 
volunteered, but we still have plenty of topics left.  On the other hand, 
don't feel that you have to pick one of the pre-listed topics.  If you are 
knowledgeable on any topic regarding Linux, please feel free to step up to the 
Mic and enlighten us.

Note for the January 25th Meeting: Scott Yellig will be presenting a talk on 
the universal UNIX text file editor "VI", so be sure not to miss it.

See you all online, and in real life too!
