I'll second Jim on these!<BR>
<BR>
As a relative newcomer to daily driving of Linux I wouldn't mind presentations geared to the intermediate user coming into *NIX. Keeping in mind I represent those of us who've spent the better part of two decades supporting M$ and have abandoned that for *NIX. I've dabbled in Linux since the late 90's but have been a daily driver for almost 1-1/2 years. Much to learn (especially the CLI - which I want to spend more time in rather than the GUI.) To that end I do read and try to apply new learning to needs of the moment. Some of what I'd like to see...<BR>
<BR>
- Installation troubleshooting (fixing problem installations)<BR>
- GRUB2<BR>
- Virtualization (demonstrated installation and application)<BR>
- MySQL (databasing for those with little to no experience)<BR>
- Apache (with an eye towards building LAMP systems/wiki's and the like)<BR>
- Python for dummies<BR>
<BR>
...I too could go on and on...but these more basic topics would open the field to more and more presenters. Just my humble dos centavos!<BR>

Hey all,<BR>
<BR>
Simple question: What presentation topics do y'all want to see in the<BR>
future? Doesn't matter if they are standalone topics or broader topics<BR>
that would require something of a series, I'd like to know what people<BR>
want to see.<BR>
