\nAnd as a warm up to all the info and activities at the ALF,

\nMeeting on Thursday, September 17th, 2009 at 7:30pm that
\nshould be of interest to all Linux users: <\/p>\n
\nwith Ryan Matty of Prefetch Technologies<\/a><\/p>\n
\nWhether a disk drive, a USB slot or an ethernet port, Linux manages
\nmost of the various data transport components of your system as DEVICES.
\nThe mechanics and capabilities of Linux device management underwent
\na pretty significant overhaul with the release of the 2.6 kernel in 2004,
\nwhere DevFS was removed in favor of the UDev device management
\nframework. This presentation will give an overview of UDev, and will
\nshow how it can be used to handle all of your Linux device management
\nneeds!<\/p>\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Ryan Matteson (aka matty) is a long time Linux user, and has been a
\nmember of ALE for close to 8 years. In addition to hacking code, Ryan
\nthoroughly enjoys evaluating new technology and sharing his findings
