[ale] presenters for June NW meeting?

[Dow Hurst]

You have an interesting idea.  I have usually gone to the command line but with SuSE's newest YaST2 I have had good success.  Usually the older modules under a graphical sysadmin tool are the least likely to screw up since they have reviewed longer for bugs.  I will think about how that could be presented in a manageable way.  I haven't volunteered to present for June yet, but am thinking hard about a presentation that Dr. Dick Gayler was interested in.  Mainly focused on tasks done in Windows being demonstrated step by step in Linux in a side by side manner.  One viewscreen would be the Window's computer and the other would be Linux.  Haven't decided if I have time yet.

Not quite qualified to be a presenter...  Perhaps I could volunteer as your 
visual aid, "See, <taps cage with pointer> if this ignorant hillbilly can 
install Linux, *you* can too!" ;-)

Seriously, would like to see some advanced tweaking from the GUI.  Often when 
I Google a problem, the only answers to be found are command line.  Fine if 
it gives a step by step, not very useful when it assumes familiarity with 
other commands.  End up Googling in circles until I give up and go work on an 
easer one.  (don't worry, I have plenty)

Not sure about the other distros, but Mandrake has plenty of poorly 
documented, yet powerful tools that can be run from the graphical.  Most of 
them would make a nice 15 minute topic.  Process management is the one I 
open, (then stare at stupidly) most often.  Disk Drake (or its RH / SuSe 
equivalent) might be a good choice too.
