4th Saturday HLUG: BASH the command line!

Hello all! I've been away for a bit due to illness and some other issues, but I'm BACK! Just in time to tell you about the next Saturday HLUG meeting. The focus on command line wizardry continues, delving further into the mysteries of the Bash shell. For this wizardry, there's no wand required!

2-4pm at HAL-PC. Where's that? It's right HERE!

2nd Saturday HLUG: Command Line POWNS you!!

2-4pm today is the standard 2nd Saturday HLUG meeting. We plan to have some examples of some compound
commands using scripting. Also, how to do a backup of a partition using the command line.

HOWEVER, there's a NEW SIG meeting on Saturdays (2nd/4th) from Noon-2pm that's going to focus primarily on Linux shell scripting/CLI. We are using the Linux Phrasebook by Scott Granneman as the guide for the SIG.

Come and enjoy!

So, go to http://www.openoffice.org/ to learn more about a FREE (as in, you don't have to pay for at AND all the freedoms from the LGPL.
