Thanks for a great meeting Jerald.
I thought the information was good and the presentation well done.
I would be interested in seeing presentations on Security, Security
Monitoring, and VPN.
Also - I'm still fairly new to Linux, and was wondering if ALE still had the
deal with O'Reilly books.
I'm sure that I will need to be reading quite a bit, and would be willing to
write reviews...

Very nice! Substitute `read' for `cat' and you truly only use bash to do
the test:
bjorn at linux1:~$ read < /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/23
bash: connect: Connection refused
bash: /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/21: Connection refused
bjorn at linux1:~$ echo $?
1
bjorn at linux1:~$ read < /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/22
bjorn at linux1:~$ echo $?
0

I would either go with one of the major Distros, such as Fedora or SuSE
and enable the automatic updates or go with Slackware as a smaller yet
well-maintained Distro.
An advantage with Fedora or SuSE is that any Linux person can take
care of them so you won't "own" the problem for the rest of your life.
An advantage of SuSE (if you buy the CDs) is that you get real support.
I'd definitely avoid BSD as not as good as Linux and not as easy or
friendly to deal with.

Good luck with that. And they did catch you.

I'm amazed at the amount of space required just to build a new Linux
kernel. 1.7G ?

I have some songs I ripped into flac which play fine at home but I want
to convert them to mp3 for my streaming player. Other than using
something like the xmms diskwriter option, anyone know a commandline
util, preferably one I can pipe into an ogg encoder?
:wq!

Fun had by all.
High winds and lightning outside, refreshments and linuxy goodness
inside
Refreshments were great
Conversation was better.
Here's my presentation from tonight. Feel free to ask questions.
