Meeting December 22 - Navigating the Linux File system




 
A look at the filesystem using cat, ls, more, less (which is more and
more), cd, and other commands to discover more about your Linux machine.
Linux, like most UNIX systems, uses plain text configuration files, but how can
we configure them?  Mike will present a minimalist view of the easiest text
editors, and an even more minimalist discussion of "vi" the universal UNIX text
editor. Mikes main focus will pinpoint the simplest commands and their usage.

Mike List is a native of Kalamazoo, MI, and knows a fair amount about 
multitasking from parenting four of his own kids and a foster son, who help 
keep things from getting too boring. Other KLUG members are amused (so he 
thinks) at his accounts of non-Linux adventures. As a contributor to 
Linux Gazette Mike has helped many new Linux users climb the learning 
curve right along with him through his Clueless at the Prompt column 
for beginners. We appreciate his efforts to help KLUG become stronger.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Meeting attendence is important! Coming to three meetings will qualify you
as a full member of KLUG, meaning that you can participate in the process of
making formal decisions, including voting for officers.

During the last week in January, KLUG decided (by vote) to define a voting
KLUG member as one who has attended three KLUG meetings:

   "In order to make any group wide decisions during a meeting, at least
    7 people must be in attendance, and each of these 7 people must have
    been to at least 3 meetings before."

As there are people who are examing how to better organize KLUG to serve a
growing list of people interested in Linux, it's important to be aware of
this so you can be assured of participating in any group decisions.
